More quotes by Maria Weston Chapman

Let us rise in the moral power of womanhood; and give utterance to the voice of outraged mercy, and insulted justice, and eternal truth, and mighty love and holy freedom.

In a republican land the power behind the throne is the power.

If this is the last bulwark of freedom, we may as well die here as anywhere.

Grudge no expense — yield to no opposition — forget fatigue — till, by the strength of prayer and sacrifice, the spirit of love have overcome.

Slavery can only be abolished by raising the character of the people who compose the nation; and that can be done only by showing them a higher one.
