Famous quotes containing the words political and/or aspirations:

    To throw obstacles in the way of a complete education is like putting out the eyes; to deny the rights of property is like cutting off the hands. To refuse political equality is like robbing the ostracized of all self-respect, of credit in the market place, of recompense in the world of work, of a voice in choosing those who make and administer the law, a choice in the jury before whom they are tried, and in the judge who decides their punishment.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    My business is to teach my aspirations to confirm themselves to fact, not to try and make facts harmonize with my aspirations.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
