More quotes by Susan B. Anthony
Of all the old prejudices that cling to the hem of the woman's garments and persistently impede her progress, none holds faster than this.

Susan B. Anthony
The religious persecution of the ages has been done under what was claimed to be the command of God.

Better lose me than lose a state.
Susan B. Anthony
When a man says to me, 'Let us work together in the great cause you have undertaken, and let me be your companion and aid, for I admire you more than I have ever admired any other woman,' then I shall say, 'I am yours truly' but he must ask me to be his equal, not his slave.

Susan B. Anthony
I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.
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
Organize, agitate, educate, must be our war cry.
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
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
I will cut off this right arm of mine before I will ever work or demand the ballot for the Negro and not the woman.
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
... God allows the wheat and the tares to grow up together, andthe tares frequently get the start of the wheat and kill it out. The only difference between the wheat and human beings is that the latter have intellect and ought to combine and pull out the tares, root and branch.
Susan B. Anthony
It's too bad that our bodies wear out while our interests are just as strong as ever.
Susan B. Anthony
