More quotes by Elizabeth Cady Stanton
All men & women are created equal
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
A woman will always be dependent until she holds a purse of her own.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
When women can support themselves, have entry to all the trades and professions, with a house of their own over their heads and a bank account, they will own their bodies and be dictators in the social realm.
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
Chauncy Burr ... talks well, possibly better than he thinks. But this is a common failing.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
I think all these reverend gentlemen who insist on the word 'obey' in the marriage service should be removed for a clear violation of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution, which says there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude within the United States.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Every truth we see is one to give to the world, not to keep to ourselves alone.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
... women feel the humiliation of their petty distinctions of sex precisely as the black man feels those of color. It is no palliation of our wrongs to say that we are not socially ostracized, so long as we are politically ostracized as he is not.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
The prolonged slavery of woman is the darkest page in human history.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Words cannot describe the indignation a proud woman feels for her sex in disfranchisement.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
The prejudice against color, of which we hear so much, is no stronger than that against sex. It is produced by the same cause, and manifested very much in the same way.
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
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
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
Our 'pathway' is straight to the ballot box, with no variableness nor shadow of turning.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
What will we and our daughters suffer if these degraded black men are allowed to have the rights that would make them even worse than our Saxon fathers?
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
