More quotes by Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Woman has been the great unpaid laborer of the world.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
... not only dowomen sufferindignities in daily life, but the literature of the world proclaims their inferiority and divinely decreed subjection in all history, sacred and profane, in science, philosophy, poetry, and song.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
What an infernal set of fools those schoolmarms must be! Well, if in order to please men they wish to live on air, let them. The sooner the present generation of women dies out, the better. We have idiots enough in the world now without such women propagating any more.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
The Church is a terrible engine of oppression, especially as concerns woman
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
The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
If the Bible teaches the equality of women, why does the church refuse to ordain women to preach the gospel, to fill the offices of deacons and elders, and to administer the Sacraments...?
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Modesty and taste are questions of latitude and education the more people know,--the more their ideas are expanded by travel, experience, and observation,--the less easily they are shocked. The narrowness and bigotry of women are the result of their circumscribed sphere of thought and action.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Men as a general rule have very little reverence for trees.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Oh, the shortcomings and inconsistency of the average human being, especially when this human being is a man trying to manage women's affairs!
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
When men and women think, the first step to progress is taken.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
There is a great deal in a name. It often signifies much, and may involve a great principle.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
A government is just only when the whole people share equally in its protection and advantages.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
No privileged order ever did see the wrongs of its own victims.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Eve tasted the apple in the Garden of Eden in order to slake that intense thirst for knowledge that the simple pleasure of picking flowers and talking to Adam could not satisfy.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
I know of no other book that so fully teaches the subjection and degradation of women.
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
How anyone, in view of the protracted sufferings of the race, can invest the laws of the universe with a tender loving fatherly intelligence, watching, guiding and protecting humanity, is to me amazing.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
The heyday of woman's life is the shady side of fifty.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
