Victoria C. Woodhull: “Legislation is the primary constructive point from which better conditions must emanate.”

It will only be considered as a means to other and higher ends.

Steam and water have relieved muscle of nearly all its most laborious occupations and increased the capacity of production a thousand fold.

It is in the people themselves, and in the fundamental principles upon which society is built, and those which the people allow government to be administered upon.

To do so carries no conviction nor prophetic knowledge of what must be next, as a necessary sequence.
