Every new truth has its birth-place in a manger, lives thirty years, is crucified, and then deified.

I think, with never-ending gratitude, that the young women of today do not and can never know at what price their right to free speech and to speak at all in public has been earned.

It is very little to me to have the right to vote, to own property, etc., if I may not keep my body, and its uses, in my absolute right

To make the public sentiment on the side of all that is just and true and noble is the highest use of life.

The great majority of women are more intelligent, better educated, and far more moral than multitudes of men whose right to vote no man questions.

Oh, I wish it were in my power to put men in the place of fashionable women for one six months! They should curl their hair, consult the milliner, make spongecake, do a little embroidery, wear long skirts, and dress so tightly that they could scarcely breathe.

I expect some new phases of life this summer, and shall try to get the honey from each moment.
