Summary

This quote by Elizabeth Cady Stanton emphasizes the importance of speaking our truths and not being stifled by the fear of others' opinions. Stanton suggests that when we withhold the truth within us, whether it is out of fear or the desire to please others, we cut ourselves off from the inspiration and vitality that come from being authentic. By choosing silence over honesty and conformity over individual expression, we hinder our personal growth and miss out on the transformative power that accompanies embracing our true selves.
