Sometimes it leads me even to hesitate whether I am strictly correct in my idea that all men are born to equal rights, for their conduct seems to me to contravene the doctrine.

This is my doctrine: Give every other human being every right you claim for yourself.

Tell my daughter Elizabeth -- no! Tell all my daughters, everywhere, in all the ages yet to come. Tell them how I died, and why. And tell them to remember this: the future is unwritten. Know your rights.

I am amazed at the facility with which some men follow in the wake of slavery.

The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.

My mom worked tirelessly on getting equal rights for women.
