When we feel deeply, we reason profoundly.

The conduct of an accountable being must be regulated by the operations of its own reason.

Let us, my dear contemporaries, arise above such narrow prejudices. If wisdom be desirable on its own account, if virtue, to deserve the name, must be founded on knowledge, let us endeavour to strengthen our minds by reflection till our heads become a balance for our hearts.

If women be educated for dependence; that is, to act according to the will of another fallible being, and submit, right or wrong, to power, where are we to stop?

The being cannot be termed rational or virtuous, who obeys any authority, but that of reason.

Fondness is a poor substitute for friendship.

Make women rational creatures, and free citizens, and they will quickly become good wives; - that is, if men do not neglect the duties of husbands and fathers.
