The condition of women affords in all countries the best criterion by which to judge the character of men.

the mode of delivering a truth makes, for the most part, as much impression on the mind of the listener as the truth itself.

It was in this year, 1828, that the standard of "the Christian Party in Politics" was openly unfurled... This was an evident attempt, through the influence of the clergy over the female mind - until this hour lamentably neglected in the United States - to effect a union of Church and State.

Of the thousands who have paid homage to virtue, barely one has thought to inspect the pedestal on which it stands.
