Grant

Famous quotes containing the word grant:

“To grant woman an equality with man in the affairs of life is contrary to every tradition, every precedent, every inheritance, every instinct and every teaching. The acceptance of this idea is possible only to those of especially progressive tendencies and a strong sense of justice, and it is yet too soon to expect these from the majority.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

“Let no guilty man escape, if it can be avoided.... No personal considerations should stand in the way of performing a duty.”
—Ulysses S. Grant (1822–1885)

“O Spirit,
spark by spark,
you instil fire
through the sight
to hearts you attack
you grant rare happiness!”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
