Nevertheless, this one fact should be apparent: turning the other cheek is a bribe. It is a valid form of action for only so long as the Christian is impotent politically or militarily.

I don't deserve any credit for turning the other cheek as my tongue is always in it.

There's more to life than cheek bones.

It take many a year, mon, and maybe some bloodshed must be, but righteousness someday prevail.

As for ourselves, yes, we must be meek, bear injustice, malice, rash judgment. We must turn the other cheek, give up our cloak, go a second mile.

While we see the course of the final abolition of human slavery is onward, & we give it the aid of our prayers & all justifiable means in our power, we must leave the progress as well as the result in his hands who sees the end; who chooses to work by slow influences; & with whom two thousand years are but as a single day.

I would prefer to be a citizen of an independent country rather than Emperor of an enslaved one.

I have sworn eternal opposition to slavery, and by the blessing of God, I will never go back.

I think if you come from a history of persecution you have to develop a sense of humour.

What connects two thousand years of genocide? Too much power in too few hands.
