I can not imagine a God ... made happy by my getting down on my knees and calling him 'great'.

There shall never be another season of silence until women have the same rights men have on this green earth.

When I was young, if a girl married poverty, she bcame a drudge; if she married wealth, she became a doll.

Of all my prosecutorsnot one is my peer, but each and all are my political sovereigns; and had your honor submitted my case to the jury, as was clearly your duty, then I should have had just cause of protest, for not one of those men was my peer; but, native or foreign born, white or black, rich or poor, educated or ignorant, sober or drunk, each and every man of them was my political superior; hence, in no sense, my peer.

There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers.

Women should have equal pay for equal work and they should be considered equally eligible to the offices of principal and superintendent, professor and president. So you must insist that qualifications, not sex, shall govern appointments and salaries.

I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand.
