Quotes:

“The world is never yet seen a truly great and virtuous nation, because in the degradation of women, the very fountains of life are poisoned at their source.”

 

“Any great change must expect opposition, because it shakes the very foundation of privilege.”

 

“I had no idea of submitting tamely to injustice inflicted either on me or on the slave, I will oppose it with all the moral powers with which I am endowed. I am no advocate of passivity.”
