If the women of the United States, with their free schools and all their enlarged liberties, are not superior to women brought upunder monarchical forms of government, then there is no good in liberty.

Any woman who does not live for unselfish service is a useless cumberer of the earth.

It is useless to talk virtue to a starving girl.

I care nothing for all the political parties in the world except as they stand for justice.

I spoke at a woman's club in Philadelphia yesterday and a young lady said to me afterwards, "Well, that sounds very nice, but don't you think it is better to be the power behind the throne?" I answered that I had not had much experience with thrones, but a woman who has been on a throne, and who is now behind it, seems to prefer to be on the throne.

It is better to be true to what you believe, though that be wrong, than to be false to what you believe, even if that belief is correct.

Around me I saw women overworked and underpaid, doing men's work at half men's wages, not because their work was inferior, but because they were women.
