Danh ngôn của Elizabeth Cady Stanton (Sứ mệnh: 8)

The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.
The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation.
We found nothing grand in the history of the Jews nor in the morals inculcated in the Pentateuch. I know of no other books that so fully teach the subjection and degradation of woman.
I shall not grow conservative with age.
The best protection any woman can have... is courage.
The woman is uniformly sacrificed to the wife and mother.
The prolonged slavery of women is the darkest page in human history.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal.
To throw obstacles in the way of a complete education is like putting out the eyes.
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to women is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading.
The memory of my own suffering has prevented me from ever shadowing one young soul with the superstition of the Christian religion.
Women of all classes are awakening to the necessity of self-support, but few are willing to do the ordinary useful work for which they are fitted.
The history of the past is but one long struggle upward to equality.
We are the only class in history that has been left to fight its battles alone, unaided by the ruling powers. White labor and the freed black men had their champions, but where are ours?
The God of justice is with us, and our word, our work - our prayer for freedom will not, cannot be in vain.
The strongest reason for giving woman all the opportunities for higher education, for the full development of her faculties, her forces of mind and body... is the solitude and personal responsibility of her own individual life.
