Cady

Famous quotes containing the word cady:

    The moral qualities are more apt to grow when a human being is useful, and they increase in the woman who helps to support the family rather than in the one who gives herself to idleness and fashionable frivolities.
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    The history of the past is but one long struggle upward to equality.
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    Fear, coercion, punishment, are the masculine remedies for moral weakness, but statistics show their failure for centuries. Why not change the system and try the education of the moral and intellectual faculties, cheerful surroundings, inspiring influences? Everything in our present system tends to lower the physical vitality, the self-respect, the moral tone, and to harden instead of reforming the criminal.
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
