The soul that is within me no man can degrade.

Knowledge makes a man unfit to be a slave.

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.

The law on the side of freedom is of great advantage only when there is power to make that law respected.

Heaven's blessing must attend all, and freedom must soon be given to the pining millions under a ruthless bondage.

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground.

I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong.
