Susan B. Anthony Quotes and Quotations
The only question left to be settled now is, are women persons? Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory. Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. The older I get, the greater power I seem to have to help the world; I am like a snowball-the further I am rolled, the more I gain. Oh, yes. I'd do it all again; the spirit is willing yet; I feel the same desire to do the work but the flesh is weak. It's too bad that our bodies wear out while our interests are just as strong as ever. Independence is happiness. Woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself. Failure is impossible. Failure is impossible. |
