I am in earnest - I will not equivocate - I will not excuse - I will not retreat a single inch - and I will be heard!
From William Lloyd Garrison
Enslave the liberty of but one human being and the liberties of the world are put in peril.
I will be as harsh as truth, and uncompromising as justice... I am in earnest, I will not equivocate, I will not excuse, I will not retreat a single inch, and I will be heard.
We may be personally defeated, but our principles never!
My country is the world; my countrymen are mankind.
The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal and hasten the resurrection of the dead.
You can not possibly have a broader basis for government than that which includes all the people, with all their rights in their hands, and with an equal power to maintain their rights.
Are right and wrong convertible terms, dependant upon popular opinion?
With reasonable men, I will reason; with humane men I will plead; but to tyrants I will give no quarter, nor waste arguments where they will certainly be lost.
Wherever there is a human being, I see God-given rights inherent in that being, whatever may be the sex or complexion.
