Let woman share the rights and she will emulate the virtues of man; for she must grow more perfect when emancipated.

Women ought to have representatives, instead of being arbitrarily governed without any direct share allowed them in the deliberations of government.

Simplicity and sincerity generally go hand in hand, as both proceed from a love of truth.

And this homage to women's attractions has distorted their understanding tosuch an extent that almost all the civilized women of the present century are anxious only to inspire love, when they ought to have the nobler aim of getting respect for their abilities and virtues.

The most perfect education ... is such an exercise of the understanding as is best calculated to strengthen the body and form the heart. Or, in other words, to enable the individual to attain such habits of virtue as will render it independent.

The more equality there is established among men, the more virtue and happiness will reign in society.

It is vain to expect virtue from women till they are in some degree independent of men.
