Our destiny is largely in our hands.

I know of no rights of race superior to the rights of humanity...

I have no protection at home, or resting place abroad. ... I am an outcast from the society of my childhood, and an outlaw in the land of my birth. I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner as all my fathers were.

We succeed, not alone by the laborious exertions of our faculties, be they small or great, but by the regular, thoughtful and systematic exercise of them.

I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs.

One and God make a majority.

A man is worked on by what he works on.
