“When I first heard from the lips of Lucretia Mott that I had the same right to think for myself that Luther, Calvin, and John Knox had, and the same right to be guided by my own convictions, and would no doubt live a higher, happier life than if guided by theirs, it was like suddenly coming into the rays of the noon-day sun, after wandering with a rushlight in the caves the earth.” IfsThinkingFirstsEarthMy OwnSunDoubtHeardAtheismHigherLipsConvictionWanderNo DoubtRaysCavesLutherNoonHappier Life Book:History of woman suffrage Source: History of woman suffrage
“I have so fixed the habit in my own mind that I never raise a glass of water to my lips without a moment's asking of God's blessing. I never seal a letter without putting a word of prayer under the seal. I never take a letter from the post without a brief sending of my thoughts heavenward. I never change classes in the section room without a minute's petition on the cadets who go out and those who come in.” MindWarMomentsWaterMy OwnPrayerRoomsClassMinutesHabitBlessingLettersAskingRaisesLipsGlassesPostsFixedSectionsMy ThoughtsNever ChangeSealsPetitionsConfederateSilent PrayerCadets Author:Stonewall Jackson
