When a just cause reaches its flood-tide...whatever stands in its way must fall before its overwhelming force.

No written law has ever been more binding than unwritten custom supported by popular opinion.

There are whole precincts of voters in this country whose united intelligence does not equal that of one representative American woman.

Parliaments have stopped laughing at woman suffrage, and politicians have begun to dodge! It is the inevitable premonition of coming victory.

There is one thing no people have ever done; that is, to oppose a threatening war with intelligent and vigorous purpose some years before it was due to arrive.

it was the United States which first established general suffrage for men upon the two principles that 'taxation without representation is tyranny' and that governments to be just should 'derive their consent from the governed.' The unanswerable logic of these two principles is responsible for the extension of suffrage to men and women the world over. In the United States, however, women are still taxed without 'representation' and still live under a government to which they have given no 'consent.

Roll up your sleeves, set your mind to making history, and wage such a fight for liberty that the whole world will respect our sex.
