Text Quotes
Man has been adjudged a social animal (Frances Wright Quotes)
Know why you believe, understand what you believe, and possess a reason for the faith that is in you. (Frances Wright Quotes)
Religion may be defined thus: a belief in, and homage rendered to, existences unseen and causes unknown (Frances Wright Quotes)
If they exert it not for good, they will for evil; if they advance not knowledge, they will perpetuate ignorance (Frances Wright Quotes)
Do we exert our own liberties without injury to others - we exert them justly; do we exert them at the expense of others - unjustly. And, in thus doing, we step from the sure platform of liberty upon the uncertain threshold of tyranny (Frances Wright Quotes)
How are men to be secured in any rights without instruction; how to be secured in the equal exercise of those rights without equality of instruction? By instruction understand me to mean knowledge - just knowledge; not talent, not genius, not inventive mental powers (Frances Wright Quotes)
... so far from entrenching human conduct within the gentle barriers of peace and love, religion has ever been, and now is, the deepest source of contentions, wars, persecutions for conscience sake, angry words, angry feelings, backbitings, slanders, suspicions, false judgments, evil interpretations, unwise, unjust, injurious, inconsistent actions (Frances Wright Quotes)
... your spiritual teachers caution you against enquiry--tell you not to read certain books; not to listen to certain people; to beware of profane learning; to submit your reason, and to receive their doctrines for truths. Such advice renders them suspicious counsellors (Frances Wright Quotes)
It is in vain that we would circumscribe the power of one half of our race, and that half by far the most important and influential. If they exert it not for good, they will for evil; if they advance not knowledge, they will perpetuate ignorance. Let women stand where they may in the scale of improvement, their position decides that of the race (Frances Wright Quotes)
We are on the earth, and they tell us of heaven; we are human beings, and they tell us of angels and devils; we are matter, and they tell us of spirit; we have five senses whereby to admit truths, and a reasoning faculty by which to build our belief upon them; and they tell us of dreams dreamed thousands of years ago, which our experience flatly contradicts. (Frances Wright Quotes)
Equality is the soul of liberty; there is, in fact, no liberty without it (Frances Wright Quotes)
I have been swamped with tremendous response. I am expecting a huge crowd (Frances Wright Quotes)
The knowledge of one generation is the ignorance of the next (Frances Wright Quotes)
Do not confound noise with fame. The man who is remembered, is not always honored (Frances Wright Quotes)
What were the glories of the sun, if we knew not the gloom of darkness? (Frances Wright Quotes)
The language of truth is too simple for inexperienced ears (Frances Wright Quotes)
Truth is but approved facts (Frances Wright Quotes)
The world is full of religion, and full of misery and crime (Frances Wright Quotes)
No man can see his own prejudices (Frances Wright Quotes)
Persecution for opinion is the master vice of society (Frances Wright Quotes)
Credulity is always ridiculous (Frances Wright Quotes)
The sciences have ever been the surest guides to virtue (Frances Wright Quotes)
I feel virtuous because my soul is at ease (Frances Wright Quotes)
There is but one honest limit to the rights of a sentient being; it is where they touch the rights of another sentient being (Frances Wright Quotes)
It has already been observed that women, wherever placed, however high or low in the scale of cultivation, hold the destinies of human kind. Men will ever rise or fall to the level of the other sex (Frances Wright Quotes)
The simplest principles become difficult of practice, when habits, formed in error, have been fixed by time, and the simplest truths hard to receive when prejudice has warped the mind (Frances Wright Quotes)
Let us unite on the safe and sure ground of fact and experiment, and we can never err; yet better, we can never differ (Frances Wright Quotes)
The existing principle of selfish interest and competition has been carried to its extreme point; and, in its progress, has isolated the heart of man, blunted the edge of his finest sensibilities, and annihilated all his most generous impulses and sympathies (Frances Wright Quotes)
Instead of establishing facts, we have to overthrow errors; instead of ascertaining what is, we have to chase from our imaginations what is not (Frances Wright Quotes)
He who lives in the single exercise of his mental faculties, however usefully or curiously directed, is equally an imperfect animal with the man who knows only the exercise of muscles (Frances Wright Quotes)
