Famous quotes containing the words elizabeth cady, cady and/or stanton:

    So closely interwoven have been our lives, our purposes, and experiences that, separated, we have a feeling of incompleteness—united, such strength of self-association that no ordinary obstacles, difficulties, or dangers ever appear to us insurmountable.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    Human beings lose their logic in their vindictiveness.
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    Modesty and taste are questions of latitude and education; the more people know,—the more their ideas are expanded by travel, experience, and observation,—the less easily they are shocked. The narrowness and bigotry of women are the result of their circumscribed sphere of thought and action.
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
