In the marriage union, the independence of the husband and wife will be equal, their dependence mutual, and their obligations reciprocal.

Lucretia Mott 35 quotes

The world has never yet seen ...

The world has never yet seen a truly great and virtuous nation, because in the degradation of women, the very fountains of life are poisoned at their source.

Lucretia Mott 35 quotes

the Law has made the man and ...

the Law has made the man and wife one person, and that one person the husband!

Lucretia Mott 35 quotes

Liberty is not less a blessin...

Liberty is not less a blessing, because oppression has so long darkened the mind that it can not appreciate it.

Lucretia Mott 35 quotes

I resolved to claim for my se...

I resolved to claim for my sex all that an impartial Creator had bestowed, which, by custom and a perverted application of the Scriptures, had been wrested from woman.

Lucretia Mott 35 quotes

I have no idea of submitting ...

I have no idea of submitting tamely to injustice inflicted either on me or on the slave. I will oppose it with all the moral powers with which I am endowed. I am no advocate of passivity.

Lucretia Mott 35 quotes

I grew up so thoroughly imbue...

I grew up so thoroughly imbued with women's rights that it was the most important question of my life from a very early day.

Lucretia Mott 35 quotes

Women's property has been tax...

Women's property has been taxed, equally with that of men's, to sustain colleges endowed by the states; but they have not been permitted to enter those high seminaries of learning.

Lucretia Mott 35 quotes

Woman has so long been subjec...

Woman has so long been subject to the disabilities and restrictions with which her progress has been embarrassed that she has become enervated, her mind to some extent paralyzed; and like those still more degraded by personal bondage she hugs her chains.

Lucretia Mott 35 quotes

Let woman then go on-not aski...

Let woman then go on-not asking favors, but claiming as a right the removal of all hindrances to her elevation in the scale of being-let her receive encouragement for the proper cultivation of all her powers, so that she may enter profitably into the active business of life.

Lucretia Mott 35 quotes

The legal theory is, that marriage makes the husband and wife one person, and that person is the husband.

Lucretia Mott 35 quotes

Man is not by nature a tyrant, but becomes a tyrant by power conferred on him.

Lucretia Mott 35 quotes

I want that there should be a belief, a faith in the possibility of removing mountains to the side of right. If we believe that war is wrong, as everyone must, then we ought to believe that by proper efforts on our part, it may be done away with.

Lucretia Mott 35 quotes

Those who go forth ministering to the wants and necessities of their fellow beings experience a rich return, their souls being as a watered garden, and a spring that faileth not

Lucretia Mott 35 quotes

There is a broad distinction ...

There is a broad distinction between religion and theology. The one is a natural, human experience common to all well-organized minds. The other is a system of speculations about the unseen and the unknowable, which the human mind has no power to grasp or explain, and these speculations vary with every sect, age, and type of civilization. No one knows any more of what lies beyond our sphere of action than thou and I, and we know nothing.

Lucretia Mott 35 quotes

... my convictions led me to ...

... my convictions led me to adhere to the sufficiency of the light within us, resting on truth as authority, rather than 'taking authority for truth.'

Lucretia Mott 35 quotes

It is time that Christians we...

It is time that Christians were judged more by their likeness to Christ than their notions of Christ. Were this sentiment generally admitted we should not see such tenacious adherence to what men deem the opinions and doctrines of Christ while at the same time in every day practise is exhibited anything but a likeness to Christ.

Lucretia Mott 35 quotes

We too often bind ourselves by authorities rather than by the truth.

Lucretia Mott 35 quotes

There is nothing of greater importance to the well-being of society at large - of man as well as woman - than the true proper position of woman.

Lucretia Mott 35 quotes

Let our lives be in accordance with our convictions of right, each striving to carry out our principles.
