While others prayed for the good time coming, I worked for it.

Rude contact with facts chased my visions and dreams quickly away, and in their stead I beheld the horrors, the corruption, the evils and hypocrisy of society, and as I stood among them, a young wife, a great wail of agony went out from my soul.

I come before you to declare that my sex are entitled to the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Is it fair to treat a woman worse than a man, and then revile her because she is a woman?

While others prayed for the good time coming, I worked for it.

It makes no difference who or what you are, old or young, black or white, pagan, Jew, or Christian, I want to love you all and be loved by you all, and I mean to have your love.

I do not shake hands from a sanitary standpoint.

Let women issue a declaration of independence sexually, and absolutely refuse to cohabit with men until they are acknowledged as equals in everything, and the victory would be won in a single week.

I endeavor to make the most of everything.

Woman, no less than man, can qualify herself for the more onerous occupations of life.

I now announce myself as candidate for the Presidency. I anticipate criticism; but however unfavorable I trust that my sincerity will not be called into question.

I shall not change my course because those who assume to be better than I desire it.

I am a free lover. I have an inalienable, constitutional and natural right to love whom I may, to love as long or short a period as I can; to change that love every day if I please.

I would like above any other place to go to Hartford. I want to face the conservatism there centered and compel it into decency.

Why is a woman to be treated differently? Woman suffrage will succeed, despite this miserable guerilla opposition.

Women have no government.

I and others of my sex find ourselves controlled by a form of government in the inauguration of which we had no voice.

I ask the rights to pursue happiness by having a voice in that government to which I am accountable.

The women of the country have the power in their own hands, in spite of the law and the government being altogether of the male order.

My judges preach against free love openly, practice it secretly.

If women would today would rise en masse and demand their emancipation, the men would be compelled to grant it.

My opinions and principles are subjects of just criticism. I put myself before the public voluntarily.

If Congress refuse to listen to and grant what women ask, there is but one course left then to pursue. What is there left for women to do but to become the mothers of the future government?

To go behind a man's hall-door is mean, cowardly, unfair opposition.

Suffrage is a common right of citizenship. Women have the right of suffrage. Logically it cannot be escaped.

Denounce me for advocating freedom if you can, and I will bear your curse with a better resignation.

When I found I had given birth to a human wreckage, to a child that was an imbecile, my heart was broken.

By what right do you refuse to accept the vote of a citizen of the United States?

For a woman to consider a financial question was shuddered over as a profanity.

By Rice's own standards, the war was well underway by the time he took office. He was a war president the moment he took the oath. But did he act like one?

At the end, the realization is that she had to get to a place in her life where she could drop her guard and make peace with the fact that whether she had a small amount of time, that she had to kind of live it completely through, instead of living by the rules.

It will take a long time, and certainly the West will remain the dominant civilization well into the next century, but the decline is occurring.

I have done things politically, and I've been running a business at the same time, but I sort of joke that to some extent I do more than most legislators have done in their whole careers, and I've been doing it as a part-time job.

I hate wasting people's time.

I just wrote one song at a time. Kinda like an alcoholic. One day at a time.

An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools.

The work that we do during the winter is very important; we have a new bike and it's important to develop it during this time, and we start with this test.

Fortunately, I happened to go east at a time when live television was centered in New York.

I want to spend more time with those kids. I want to dedicate my time to train those kids and teach them what it takes, what they need to do to get to this level.

Public opinion polls are rather like children in a garden, digging things up all the time to see how they're growing.

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.

When it is time to get to work, I go away completely and don't do anything except the work. And that can be 16 hours a day.

You look at the whole Human Rights questions, I happened to be there at just the right time when the country was awakening - this goes to the first question you asked - the whole country was awakening to a hundred years of injustice that hadn't been resolved yet.

Compared to today's salaries, our cut was minuscule but it was very good for the time.

They haul you up there for, you know, week after week in this kind of star chamber proceeding. Then at the end of it they say, well, we found nothing, but now it's time for special counsel.

When I did the record, I was coming off a time when my contract had been sold and the music industry had changed a lot. I didn't understand how to make records for big labels. I was waiting for a new kind of record label to emerge.

Hell, if I'd jumped on all the dames I'm supposed to have jumped on, I'd have had no time to go fishing.

I've danced one time in my life. It was the most mortifying experience I ever had.

At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, or a parent.
