I shall say, that I feel myself virtuous, because my soul is at rest.

However novel it may appear, I shall venture the assertion, that, until women assume the place in society which good sense and good feeling alike assign to them, human improvement must advance but feebly.

It is in vain that we would circumscribe the power of one half of our race, and that half by far the most important and influential. If they exert it not for good, they will for evil; if they advance not knowledge, they will perpetuate ignorance. Let women stand where they may in the scale of improvement, their position decides that of the race.

Trust me, there are as many ways of living as there are men, and one is no more fit to lead another, than a bird to lead a fish, or a fish a quadruped.

Moral truth, resting entirely upon the ascertained consequences of actions, supposes a process of observation and reasoning.

There is but one honest limit to the rights of a sentient being; it is where they touch the rights of another sentient being.

Equality! Where is it, if not in education? Equal rights! They cannot exist without equality of instruction.
