00:00Failure is impossible. Susan B. Anthony
00:07I distrust those people who know so well what is good for others and what is good for the country.
00:14Susan B. Anthony
00:18It was we, the people, not we, the white male citizens, nor yet we, the citizens, but we, the whole
00:25people, who formed the union.
00:28Susan B. Anthony
00:32There shall never be a republic for the people without the peoples having a voice in the government.
00:39Susan B. Anthony
00:43The day will come when the oppression of women will be as unknown as the oppression of slaves.
00:49Susan B. Anthony
00:54It is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are
00:59denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic republican government, the ballot.
01:07Susan B. Anthony
01:11I do not think any person is safe when they have the whole power of the government in their hands,
01:17unless the people have the right to vote.
01:20Susan B. Anthony
01:24When women are admitted to the ballot box, they will have an equal representation in the government.
01:32Susan B. Anthony
01:36I have been accustomed all my life to regard the government of the United States as a republic, and to
01:42believe that the only legitimate power of government is derived from the consent of the governed.
01:48Susan B. Anthony
01:53The constitution recognizes no sex.
01:56It is a we the people constitution, and we the people are all citizens.
02:02Susan B. Anthony
02:07Each of you must feel it your duty to go out and talk to the people, and to make them
02:12understand the question.
02:14Susan B. Anthony
02:18I have only done what I thought was right.
02:22Susan B. Anthony
02:26It is a lifelong, uphill fight for women to gain equality.
02:31Susan B. Anthony
02:35The best protection any woman can have is her ability to protect herself.
02:42Susan B. Anthony
02:46It is a duty for every woman to consider the laws and decide whether they are just or not.
02:53Susan B. Anthony
02:57The older I grow, the more convinced I become that the only way to reform the world is to make
03:03education universal and exact.
03:06Susan B. Anthony
03:10If women are educated, they will know their rights, and if they know their rights, they will demand them.
03:17Susan B. Anthony
03:21We are all citizens, and in a republic, all citizens are equal before the law.
03:28Susan B. Anthony
03:32The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved
03:39to the states respectively, or to the people.
03:43And I, as one of the people, demand that my right to vote be recognized.
03:49Susan B. Anthony
03:53Men, their rights and nothing more, women, their rights and nothing less.
03:59Susan B. Anthony
04:01The power of the country is called the law of liberty.
04:01Susan B. Anthony
04:01The power of liberty.
04:02Susan B. Anthony
04:02The power of liberty.
