More quotes by Victoria Woodhull
Love is that which exists to do good, not merely to get good.
Victoria Woodhull
There is something wrong with a government that makes women the legal property of their husbands. The whole system needs changing, but men will never make the changes. They have too much to lose.
Victoria Woodhull
I shall not change my course because those who assume to be better than I desire it.
Victoria Woodhull
There are none so ignorant but they may be taught. So, too, are there none so unfortunate in their understanding of the true and high relation of the sexes as not to be amenable to the right kind of instruction.
Victoria Woodhull
Every woman knows that if she were free, she would never bear an unwished-for child nor think of murdering one before its birth.
Victoria Woodhull
When I found I had given birth to a human wreckage, to a child that was an imbecile, my heart was broken.
Victoria Woodhull
It must always be remembered that you can never do right until you are first free to do wrong since the doing of a thing under compulsion is evidence neither of good nor bad intent and if under compulsion, who shall decide what would be the substituted rule of action under full freedom?
Victoria Woodhull
If women would today would rise en masse and demand their emancipation, the men would be compelled to grant it.
Victoria Woodhull
Strike as much and as hard as you please, only don't do it in the dark so that I cannot know who is my enemy.
Victoria Woodhull
Woman, no less than man, can qualify herself for the more onerous occupations of life.
Victoria Woodhull
I know that my companions from the moment of birth were heaven's choicest souls. I grew side by side with them, in fact all the education and inspiration came over them.
Victoria Woodhull
The women of the country have the power in their own hands, in spite of the law and the government being altogether of the male order.
Victoria Woodhull
I ask the rights to pursue happiness by having a voice in that government to which I am accountable.
Victoria Woodhull
My opinions and principles are subjects of just criticism.
Victoria Woodhull
All talk of women's rights is moonshine. Women have every right. They have only to exercise them.
Victoria Woodhull
The sin of all time has been the exercise of assumed powers. This is the essence of tyranny.
Victoria Woodhull
Suffrage is a common right of citizenship. Women have the right of suffrage. Logically it cannot be escaped.
Victoria Woodhull
I do not assume to speak for anyone. I know I speak in direct opposition to the wishes of many by whom I am surrounded.
Victoria Woodhull
Entrepreneurs are risk takers, willing to roll the dice with their money or reputations on the line in support of an idea or enterprise.
Victoria Woodhull
The rights of children as individuals begin while yet they remain the foetus...Whoever has read the 'Weekly' knows I hold abortion (except to save the life of the mother) to be just as much murder as the killing of a person after birth is murder.
