More quotes by Elizabeth Cady Stanton
The prolonged slavery of woman is the darkest page in human history.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Every truth we see is one to give to the world, not to keep to ourselves alone.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
The first step in the elevation of women under all systems of religion is to convince them that the great Spirit of the Universe is in no way responsible for any of these absurdities.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
The women of this country ought be enlightened in regard to the laws under which they live, that they may no longer publish their degradation by declaring themselves satisfied with their present position, nor their ignorance, by asserting that they have all the rights they want.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
There is a solitude, which each and every one of us has always carried with him, more inaccessible than the ice-cold mountains, more profound than the midnight sea the solitude of self. Our inner being, which we call ourself, no eye nor touch of man or angel has ever pierced.
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 would have girls regard themselves not as adjectives but as nouns.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Words cannot describe the indignation a proud woman feels for her sex in disfranchisement.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
We found nothing grand in the history of the Jews nor in the morals inculcated in the Pentateuch. I know of no other books that so fully teach the subjection and degradation of woman.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
The woman is uniformly sacrificed to the wife and mother.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Without fear of contradiction, I can safely say that every step in progress that woman has made she has been assailed by ecclesiastics, that her most vigilant unwearied opponents have always been the clergy.
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
I know of no other book that so fully teaches the subjection and degradation of women.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Embrace truth as it is revealed to-day by human reason.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
To-day the woman is Mrs. Richard Roe, to-morrow Mrs. John Doe, and again Mrs. James Smith according as she changes masters, and she has so little self-respect that she does not see the insult of the custom.
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 history of the past is but one long struggle upward to equality.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Woman's degradation is in mans idea of his sexual rights. Our religion, laws, customs, are all founded on the belief that woman was made for man.
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
You who have read the history of nations, from Moses down to our last election, where have you ever seen one class looking after the interests of another?
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
