If you allow one single germ, ...

If you allow one single germ, one single seed of slavery to remain in the soil of America... that germ will spring up, that noxious weed will thrive, and again stifle the growth, wither the leaves, blast the flowers and poison the fair fruits of freedom.

We have hardly an adequate ide...

We have hardly an adequate idea how all-powerful law is in forming public opinion, in giving tone and character to the mass of society.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

What is life without liberty; ...

What is life without liberty; and what is liberty without equality of rights?

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

Whatever good you would do out...

Whatever good you would do out of fear of punishment, or hope of reward hereafter, the Atheist would do simply because it is good; and being so, he would receive the far surer and more certain reward, springing from well-doing, which would constitute his pleasure, and promote his happiness.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

even the best of constitutions...

even the best of constitutions need sometimes to be amended and improved, for after all there is but one constitution which is infallible, but one constitution that ought to be held sacred, and that is the human constitution.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

there is ten times more in the world than would maintain all in yet unknown luxury. Yet how much misery there is in our midst; not because there is not enough, but owing to the misdirection of it.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

silence is consent. And silenc...

silence is consent. And silence where life and liberty is at stake, where by a timely protest we could stay the destoyer's hand, and do not do so, is as criminal as giving actual aid to the oppressor, for it answers his purpose ...

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

Do you tell me that the Bible ...

Do you tell me that the Bible is against our rights? Then I say that our claims do not rest upon a book written no one knows when, or by whom. Do you tell me what Paul or Peter says on the subject? Then again I reply that our claims do not rest on the opinions of any one, not even on those of Paul and Peter, . . . Books and opinions, no matter from whom they came, if they are in opposition to human rights, are nothing but dead letters.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

Blind submission in women is c...

Blind submission in women is considered a virtue, while submission to wrong is itself wrong, and resistance to wrong is virtue alike in women as in man.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

Agitate! Agitate! Ought to be ...

Agitate! Agitate! Ought to be the motto of every reformer. Agitation is the opposite of stagnation - the one is life, the other death.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

All that I can tell you is, th...

All that I can tell you is, that I used my humble powers to the uttermost, and raised my voice in behalf of Human Rights in general, and the elevation and Rights of Woman in particular, nearly all my life.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

I asked God if it was a sin and He didn't say anything.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

If God is pleased in making you sick and unhappy, I hate God.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

When a man comes to me and tri...

When a man comes to me and tries to convince me that he is not a thief, then I take care of my coppers.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

Again, I shall be told that th...

Again, I shall be told that the law presumes the husband to be kind, affectionate, and ready to provide for and protect his wife. But what right, I ask, has the law to presume at all on the subject?

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

Carry out the republican principle of universal suffrage, or strike it from your banners and substitute 'Freedom and Power to one half of society, and Submission and Slavery to the other.'

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

There is no reason against wom...

There is no reason against woman's elevation, but prejudices.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

But say some, would you expose...

But say some, would you expose woman to the contact of rough, rude, drinking, swearing, fighting men at the ballot box? What a humiliating confession lies in this plea for keeping woman in the background!

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

The mass of the people commenc...

The mass of the people commence life with no other capital than the union of head, hearts and hands. To the benefit of this best of capital the wife has no right.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

But it will be said that the h...

But it will be said that the husband provides for the wife, or in other words, he feeds, clothes and shelters her! I wish I had the power to make every one before me fully realize the degradation contained in that idea.
