Who can sum up all the ills the women of a nation suffer from war? They have all of the misery and none of the glory nothing to mitigate their weary waiting and watching for the loved ones who return no more.

More quotes by 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
A government is just only when the whole people share equally in its protection and advantages.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
How can any woman believe that a loving and merciful God would, in one breath, command Eve to multiply and replenish the earth, and in the next, pronounce a curse upon her maternity? I do not believe that God inspired the Mosaic code, or gave out the laws about women which he is accused of doing.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
I do believe that half a dozen commonplace attorneys could so mystify and misconstrue the Ten Commandments, and so confuse Moses' surroundings on Mount Sinai, that the great law-giver, if he returned to this planet, would doubt his own identity, abjure every one of his deliverances, yea, even commend the very sins he so clearly forbade his people.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
God, in His wisdom, has so linked the whole human family together that any violence done at one end of the chain is felt throughout its length.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
the wrongs of society can be more deeply impressed on a large class of readers in the form of fiction than by essays, sermons, or the facts of science.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
I decline to accept Hebrew mythology as a guide to twentieth-century science.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
It is through the perversion of the religious element in woman, playing upon her hopes and fears of the future, holding this life with all its high duties in abeyance to that which is to come, that she and the children she has trained have been so completely subjugated by priestcraft and superstition.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Nature never repeats herself, and the possibilities of one human soul will never be found in another.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Our 'pathway' is straight to the ballot box, with no variableness nor shadow of turning.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
I am always busy, which is perhaps the chief reason why I am always well.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Embrace truth as it is revealed to-day by human reason.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Men who can, when they wish to write a document, shut themselves up for days with their thoughts and their books, know little of what difficulties a woman must surmount to get off a tolerable production.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Let us remember that all reforms are interdependent, and that whatever is done to establish one principle on a solid base, strengthens all.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
We seem to be pariahs alike in the visible and the invisible world, with no foothold anywhere, though by every principle of government and religion we should have an equal place on this planet.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Love is the vital essence that pervades and permeates, from the center to the circumference, the graduating circles of all thought and action. Love is the talisman of human weal and woe -the open sesame to every soul.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
All through the centuries scholars and scientists have been imprisoned, tortured and burned alive for some discovery which seemed to conflict with a petty text of Scripture. Surely the immutable laws of the universe can teach more impressive and exalted lessons than the holy books of all the religions on earth.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Men as a general rule have very little reverence for trees.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
I shall not grow conservative with age.

All men & women are created equal
