Selected Susan B. Anthony Quotations
• Independence is happiness.
• Men their rights and nothing more; women their rights and nothing less.
• Failure is impossible.
• The older I get, the greater power I seem to have to help the world; I am like a snowball -- the further I am rolled the more I gain.
• 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.
• Suffrage is the pivotal right.
• The fact is, women are in chains, and their servitude is all the more debasing because they do not realize it.
• Modern invention has banished the spinning wheel, and the same law of progress makes the woman of today a different woman from her grandmother.

• It would be ridiculous to talk of male and female atmospheres, male and female springs or rains, male and female sunshine.... how much more ridiculous is it in relation to mind, to soul, to thought, where there is as undeniably no such thing as sex, to talk of male and female education and of male and female schools. [written with Elizabeth Cady Stanton]
• [T]here never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers.
• There is not the woman born who desires to eat the bread if dependence, no matter whether it be from the hand of father, husband, or brother; for any one who does so eat her bread places herself in the power of the person from whom she takes it.
• The rank and file are not philosophers, they are not educated to think for themselves, but simply to accept, unquestioned, whatever comes.
• Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences.
• I can't say that the college-bred woman is the most contented woman. The broader her mind the more she understands the unequal conditions between men and women, the more she shafes under a government that tolerates it.
• on foreign policy: How can you not be all on fire? ... I really believe I shall explode if some of you young women don't wake up --and raise your voice in protest against the impending crime of this nation upon the new islands it has clutched from other folks. Do come into the living present and work to save us from any more barbaric male governments.
