I have never advised the destruction of life, but of property, yes.

I would rather be a rebel than a slave.

We have to free half of the human race, the women, so that they can help free the other half.

Better that we should die fighting than be outraged and dishonored... Better to die than to live in slavery.

We woman suffragists have a great mission - the greatest mission the world has ever known. It is to free half the human race, and through that freedom to save the rest.

A defiant deed has greater value than unnumerable thousands of words.

Women had always fought for men, and for their children. Now they were ready to fight for their own human rights. Our militant movement was established.

Trust in God - she will provide.

...the Government must not think that they can stop this agitation. It will go on...We are here not because we are law-breakers; we are here in out efforts to become law-makers.

What is the use of fighting for a vote if we have not got a country to vote in?

The argument of the broken window pane is the most valuable argument in modern politics.

You will never feel truly satisfied by work until you are satisfied by life.

Books that change you, even later in life, give you a kind of electrical shock as the world takes a different shape.

Leaders of nations, and people whose wealth or fame gives them power over the lives of others quite often do more harm than good.

It's much harder to be an in-house person than an outside person.

Our failure to see and access the pure joy and radiance of life is owning to a lack of awareness. In any situation there is beauty. Even at the moment of one's death there is beauty.

The only permanent and constructive changes you can make in the world are the changes that you make in yourself.

I'm not so weird to me.

Work ethic has always been stressed in my family. My dad is going to be 80 years old and he still works part time. My mom just retired a couple years ago and she's in her mid- to late 70s.

Remember that frost comes latest to those that bloom the highest.

That nation is great which rests its head upon death as its pillow.
