I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel.

It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people - women as well as men.

From Susan B. Anthony

Here, in this very first paragraph of the Declaration, is the assertion of the natural right of all to the ballot; for how can 'the consent of the governed' be given if the right to vote be denied?

From Susan B. Anthony

It is poor rule that won't work more ways than one.

From Susan B. Anthony

No one can doubt that the sufferings of the sober, virtuous woman, in legal subjection to the mastership of a drunken, immoral husband and father over herself and children, not only from physical abuse, but from spiritual shame and humiliation, must be such as the man himself can not possibly comprehend.

From Susan B. Anthony

The principle of self-government cannot be violated with impunity. The individual's right to it is sacred - regardless of class, caste, race, color, sex or any other accident or incident of birth.

From Susan B. Anthony

From Susan B. Anthony

I always distrust people who know so much about what God wants them to do to their fellows.

From Susan B. Anthony

Organize, agitate, educate, must be our war cry.

From Susan B. Anthony

White men have always controlled their wives' wages. Colored men were not able to do so until they themselves became free. Then they owned both their wives and their wages.
