"Nothing bigger can come to a human being than to love a great cause more than life itself."
"I wake up every morning with a great desire to live joyfully."
"A gentleman opposed to their enfranchisement once said to me, women have never produced anything of any value to the world. I told him the chief product of the women had been the men, and left it to him to decide whether the product was of any value."
"God made a woman equal to a man, but He did not make a woman equal to a woman and a man. We usually try to do the work of a man and of a woman too; then we break down."
