Better lose me than lose a state.

The fact is, women are in chains, and their servitude is all the more debasing because they do not realize it.

If a man's public record be a clear one, if he has kept his pledges before the world, I do not inquire what his private life may have been.

Sentiment never was and never can be a guarantee for justice.

The day will come when men will recognize woman as his peer, not only at the fireside, but in councils of the nation. Then, and not until then, will there be the perfect comradeship, the ideal union between the sexes that shall result in the highest development of the race.

It is perfectly right for a gentleman to say "ladies and gentlemen," but a lady should say, "gentlemen and ladies." You mention your friend's name before you do your own. I always feel like rebuking any woman who says, "ladies and gentlemen." It is a lack of good manners.

I think the girl who is able to earn her own living and pay her own way should be as happy as anybody on earth. The sense of independence and security is very sweet.
