My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals.

    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “Do you not see that so long as society says woman has not brains enough to be a doctor, lawyer or minister, but has plenty to be a teacher, every man of you who condescends to teach, tacitly admits before all Israel and the sun that he has no more brains than a woman?”
    —Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    “From a bed in this hotel Seargent S. Prentiss arose in the middle of the night and made a speech in defense of a bedbug that had bitten him. It was heard by a mock jury and judge, and the bedbug was formally acquitted.”

    —John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
