Quotes by Elizabeth Cady Stanton
"To throw obstacles in the way of a complete education is like putting out the eyes."
"Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon."
"We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal."-Declaration of Sentiments draft written by Elizabeth
"I am always busy, which is perhaps the chief reasons why I am always well."
"Nature never repeats itself herself, and the possibilities of one women soul will never be found in another."
"Because man and women are the complement of one another, we need women's thoughts in national affairs to make a safe and stable government."
"Women will always be dependent until she holds a purse of her own."
"So long as women are slaves, men will be knaves."
"It would be ridiculous to talk of men and female atmospheres, male and female springs or rains, male and female sunshine...how much more ridiculous is it in relation to the mind, to soul, to thought, where there is as undeniably no such thing as sex, to talk of male and female education and of male and female schools. "
"The prejudice against color, of which we hear so much, is no stronger than against sex. It is produced by the same cause, and manifested very much in the same way. The Negro's skin and the women's sex are both prima facie evidence that they were intended to be in subjection to the white saxon man."-with Susan B. Anthony
"The heyday of women's life is the shady side of fifty."
"I think if women would indulge more freely in vituperation, they would enjoy ten times the health they do. It seems to me they are suffering from repression."
