Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation.
Susan B. Anthony
The day will come when men will recognize woman as his peer, not only at the fireside, but in councils of the nation. Then, and not until then, will there be the perfect comradeship, the ideal union between the sexes that shall result in the highest development of the race.
Susan B. Anthony
Every woman should have a purse of her own.
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
Failure is impossible.
Susan B. Anthony
Independent bread gives independent morals: - while pecuniary dependence makes moral subserviency - So get money - get wealth
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
