More quotes by Susan B. Anthony
Failure is impossible.
Susan B. Anthony
There is not the woman born who desires to eat the bread of dependence, no matter whether it be from the hand of father, husband, or brother for any one who does so eat her bread places herself in the power of the person from whom she takes it.
Susan B. Anthony
Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation.
Susan B. Anthony
The anti-suffragist talk of sheltering women from the fierce storms of life is a lot of cant. I have no patience with it. These storms beat on woman just as fiercely as they do on man, and she is not trained to defend herself against them.
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
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
Oh, if I could but live another century and see the fruition of all the work for women! There is so much yet to be done.
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
Modern invention has banished the spinning wheel, and the same law of progress makes the woman of today a different woman from her grandmother.
Susan B. Anthony
Current creation has exiled the turning wheel, and the same law of advancement makes the lady of today an alternate lady from her grandma.
Susan B. Anthony
Those of you who have the talent to do honor to poor womanhood, have all given yourself over to baby-making. . .
Susan B. Anthony
I deplore the horrible crime as child murder....no matter what the motive, love of ease, or desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent,the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed...but oh, thrice guilty is he who drove her to the desperation which compelled her to the crime.
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
When society is rightly organized, the wife and mother will have time, wish and will to grow intellectually, and will know that the limits of her sphere, the extent of her duties, are prescribed only by the measure of her ability.
Susan B. Anthony
Many abolitionists have yet to learn the ABC of woman's rights.
Susan B. Anthony
The religious persecution of the ages has been done under what was claimed to be the command of God.
Susan B. Anthony
I can not imagine a God ... made happy by my getting down on my knees and calling him 'great'.

Sentiment never was and never can be a guarantee for justice.
