More quotes by Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Every truth we see is one to give to the world, not to keep to ourselves alone.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Elizabeth Cady Stanton
To develop our real selves, we need time alone for thought and meditation. To be always giving out and never pumping in, the well runs dry.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Two pure souls fused into one by an impassioned love-friends, counselors-a mutual support and inspiration to each other amid life's struggles, must know the highest human happiness-this is marriage and this is the only cornerstone of an enduring home.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Elizabeth Cady Stanton
