Sisters, I ain't clear what you're after. If women want any rights more than they're got, why don't they just take them, and not be talking about it? - Sojourner Truth

If women want rights more than they got, why don't they just take them, and not be talking about it.

A real man or woman makes circumstances and controls them. They be deterred from doing what duty calls them to! Never! They control their destiny and observe every weaker mind within the square of the distance. I find it easier to coalesce with a person who has been guilty of ennui, and whose lives are proof of their repentance, than these-good-for-nothing aspirants. Anything which you young pump=strutters earnestly wish to be, you can be. God gives every key to a sober demander.

Children, who made your skin white? Was it not God? Who made mine black? Was it not the same God? Am I to blame, therefore, because my skin is black?...Does not God love coloured children as well as white children? And did not the same Saviour die to save the one as well as the other?

If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down, these women together ought to be able to turn it right again.
