The desire to please those we ...

The desire to please those we admire and respect often cripples conscience.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton 239 quotes

While women were tortured, dro...

While women were tortured, drowned and burned by the thousands, scarce one wizard to a hundred was ever condemned ... The same distinction of sex appears in our own day. One code of morals for men, another for women.

A government is just only when the whole people share equally in its protection and advantages.

[On women's role in the home:] Every wife, mother and housekeeper feels at present that there is some screw loose in the household situation.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton 239 quotes

I do believe that half a dozen...

I do believe that half a dozen commonplace attorneys could so mystify and misconstrue the Ten Commandments, and so confuse Moses' surroundings on Mount Sinai, that the great law-giver, if he returned to this planet, would doubt his own identity, abjure every one of his deliverances, yea, even commend the very sins he so clearly forbade his people.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton 239 quotes

Such is the nature of the marr...

Such is the nature of the marriage relation that a breach once made cannot be healed, and it is the height of folly to waste one's life in vain efforts to make a binary compound of two diverse elements. What would we think of the chemist who should sit twenty years trying to mix oil and water, and insist upon it that his happiness depended upon the result of the experiment?

Elizabeth Cady Stanton 239 quotes

It is in vain to look for the ...

It is in vain to look for the elevation of woman so long as she is degraded in marriage.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton 239 quotes

I think all these reverend gentlemen who insist on the word 'obey' in the marriage service should be removed for a clear violation of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution, which says there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude within the United States.

There is a great deal in a name. It often signifies much, and may involve a great principle.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton 239 quotes

I never saw so intelligent a m...

I never saw so intelligent a man have so much trouble in getting out a connected sentence. Ever since I have known him, he has desired to have a long talk with me, but he never gets started; and yet each time he meets me with renewed zest for the outpouring. It is like getting congealed liquid from a demijohn; you know the jug is large and full, but getting the contents out is the problem.

religious superstitions more than all other influences put together cripple & enslave woman, but so long as women themselves do not see it & hug their chains, we have a great educational work to do ...

I have been into many of the ancient cathedrals - grand, wonderful, mysterious. But I always leave them with a feeling of indignation because of the generations of human beings who have struggled in poverty to build these altars to the unknown god.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton 239 quotes

You may go over the world and you will find that every form of religion which has breathed upon this earth has degraded woman.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton 239 quotes

where no individual in a commu...

where no individual in a community is denied his rights, the mass are the more perfectly protected in theirs; for whenever any class is subject to fraud or injustice, it shows that the spirit of tyranny is at work, and no one can tell where or how or when the infection will spread ...

The queens in history compare favorably with the kings.

No privileged order ever did see the wrongs of its own victims ...

You who have read the history ...

You who have read the history of nations, from Moses down to our last election, where have you ever seen one class looking after the interests of another?

Elizabeth Cady Stanton 239 quotes

Oh, the shortcomings and inconsistency of the average human being, especially when this human being is a man trying to manage women's affairs!

Elizabeth Cady Stanton 239 quotes

To think that all in me of which my father would have felt proper pride had I been a man, is deeply mortifying to him because I am a woman.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton 239 quotes

There is no such thing as a sphere for sex. Every man has a different sphere, in which he may or may not shine, and it is the same with every woman, and the same woman may have a different sphere at different times.
