If I could only live another century!
Susan B. Anthony
Failure is impossible.
Susan B. Anthony
What you should say to outsiders is that a Christian has neither more nor less rights in our Association than an atheist. When our platform becomes too narrow for people of all creeds and of no creeds, I myself shall not stand upon it.
Susan B. Anthony
Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation.
Susan B. Anthony
So long as State constitutions say that all may vote when twenty-one, save idiots, lunatics, convicts and women, you are brought down politically to the level of those others disfranchised.

Better lose me than lose a state.
Susan B. Anthony
Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation.

Join the union, girls, and together say Equal Pay for Equal Work.
Susan B. Anthony
Forget conventionalisms forget what the world thinks of you stepping out of your place think your best thoughts, speak your best words, work your best works, looking to your own conscience for approval.
Susan B. Anthony

Susan B. Anthony
I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand.
Susan B. Anthony
Had I represented twenty thousand voters in Michigan, that political editor would not have known nor cared whether I was the oldest or the youngest daughter of Methuselah, or whether my bonnet came from the Ark or from Worth's.
Susan B. Anthony
... we should be miserable but for the consciousness that we have done all in our power to help forward every measure for the freedom and equality of the races and the sexes.
Susan B. Anthony
Liberty, Humanity, Justice, Equality
Susan B. Anthony
Our Job is not to make young women grateful. It is to make the ungrateful so they keep going. Gratitude never radicalized anybody
Susan B. Anthony
I have known nothing the last thirty years save the struggle for human rights on this continent. If it had been a class of men whowere disfranchised and denied their legal rights, I believe I should have devoted my life precisely as I have done in behalf of my own sex.
Susan B. Anthony
If a man's public record be a clear one, if he has kept his pledges before the world, I do not inquire what his private life may have been.
Susan B. Anthony
The only question left to be settled now is: Are women persons?
Susan B. Anthony
A woman growing up under American ideas of liberty in government and religion, having never blushed behind a Turkish mask, nor pressed her feet in Chinese shoes, cannot brook any disabilities based on sex alone, without a deep feeling of antagonism with the power that creates it.
Susan B. Anthony
