Famous quotes containing the word grants:

    “The ability to secure an independent livelihood and honorable employ suited to her education and capacities is the only true foundation of the social elevation of woman, even in the very highest classes of society. While she continues to be educated only to be somebody’s wife, and is left without any aim in life till that somebody either in love, or in pity, or in selfish regard at last grants her the opportunity, she can never be truly independent.”
    —Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)

    “... liberty is the one thing no man can have unless he grants it to others.”
    —Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
