"No one with an insignificant head or a poor frail body--no matter how much educated--could hope to move the public mind on political subjects as this lady has done--is now doing. [...] Here is the secret. She has a large-sized brain." (On Elizabeth Cady Stanton.) "Miss Susan B. Anthony, this is an original character. [...] There is not a lazy thought, not an indolent feeling, manifested here. Action, action, action, is the rule of this life, and the world is her field."
