“We should not feel so sorely grieved if no man who had not attained the full stature of a Webster, Clay, Van Buren, or Gerrit Smith could claim the right of the elective franchise. But to have drunkards, idiots, horse-racing, rum-selling rowdies, ignorant foreigners, and silly boys fully recognized, while we ourselves are thrust out from all the rights that belong to citizens, it is too grossly insulting to the dignity of woman to be longer quietly submitted to.” IfsMenFeelsShouldBoysRightsCitizensDignityClaimsHorseSillyIgnorantSellingIdiotRacingClayVansForeignersThrustInsultingStatureDrunkardsRumHorse RacingRowdySilly Boy Book:The Elizabeth Cady Stanton-Susan B.

“He chose a certain path in life, it proved to be a misguided one, but there, he chose it, he can say that at least. As for myself, I cannot even claim that. You see, I trusted. I trusted in his lorship's wisdom. All those years I served him, I trusted I was doing something worthwhile. I can't even say I made my own mistakes.

“Ours is an age of criticism, to which everything must be subjected. The sacredness of religion, and the authority of legislation, are by many regarded as grounds for exemption from the examination by this tribunal, But, if they are exempted, and cannot lay claim to sincere respect, which reason accords only to that which has stood the test of a free and public examination.” IfsReasonAgeAuthorityDignityCriticismTestsClaimsLaysCriticsSincereLegislationExaminationAccordSacrednessTribunalsExemption Book:The Critique of Pure Reason Source: The Critique of Pure Reason
