More quotes by 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
Accepting the view that man was prior in the creation, some Scriptural writers say that as the woman was of the man, therefore, her position should be one of subjection. Grant it, then as the historical fact is reversed in our day, and the man is now of the woman, shall his place be one of subjection?
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Because man and woman are the complement of one another, we need woman's thought in national affairs to make a safe and stable government.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Out of the doctrine of original sin grew the crimes and miseries of asceticism, celibacy and witchcraft woman becoming the helpless victim of all these delusions.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
To deny political equality is to rob the ostracised of all self-respect of credit in the market place of recompense in the world of work of a voice among those who make and administer the law a choice in the jury before whom they are tried, and in the judge who decides their punishment.
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
I shall not grow conservative with age.
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
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
The bible teaches that women brought sin and death into the world. I don't believe that any man ever talked with god. The bible was written by man out of his love of domination.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
To no form of religion is woman indebted for one impulse of freedom, as all alike have taught her inferiority and subjection.
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
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
All who live to a good old age have a genius for sleep.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
No privileged order ever did see the wrongs of its own victims.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
I am always busy, which is perhaps the chief reason why I am always well.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Who, I ask you, can take, dare take, on himself the rights, the duties, the responsibilities of another human soul?
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
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
American women of wealth, education, virtue and refinement, if you do not wish the lower orders of Chinese, Africans, Germans and Irish, with their low ideas of womanhood, to make laws for you and your daughters awake to the danger of your present position and demand that woman, too, shall be represented in the government!
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Woman has been the great unpaid laborer of the world.
