“I shall never pay a dollar of your unjust penalty. All the stock in trade I possess is a $10,000 debt, incurred by publishing my paper - The Revolution - four years ago, the sole object of which was to educate all women to do precisely as I have done, rebel against your man-made, unjust, unconstitutional forms of law, that tax, fine, imprison and hang women, while they deny them the right of representation in the government... And I shall earnestly and persistently continue to urge all women to the practical recognition of the old revolutionary maxim, that "Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God."” MenMadeDoneGovernmentFormLawPayObjectsRevolutionFineTaxesPaperTradeDollarsDenyDebtPracticalsTyrannyResistanceRecognitionObedienceRevolutionaryUrgesRebelEducateSolePublishingPenaltiesRepresentationUnjustMaximsUnconstitutionalObedience To God Author:Susan B.

“Every lynching deprives its victim of his life without due process of law, and denies him an equal protection of the law. The States are charged with punishing all such invasions as the common rights of the citizens, but some of them have failed in their effort to do so, and others have not honestly tried. Meanwhile, lynchings continue, and though they do not increase in number, they show some tendency to increase in savagery.” StatesShowsLawProcessCommonNumbersEffortRightsCitizensEqualIncreaseVictimDenyProtectionDuesHonestlyTendenciesInvasionSavageryLynchingDue ProcessEqual ProtectionDue Process Of Law Author:H.

“The artist's business is to take sorrow when it comes.

“Outward, thanks to the knowledge of physical laws, man could subdue (or subjugate...) nature, but inwardly, he remained a slave to it. For, when all is said and done, at what is aiming all this display (or deployment) of activity, if not to realized outward profits, to provide material pleasure (or enjoyment).
