My rights all spring front an infinitely nobler source - from favor and grace of God.
Truth and mercy require the exertion - never the suppression, of man's noble rights and powers.

When a good man lends himself to the advocacy of slavery, he must, at least for a time, feel himself to be any where but at home, amongst his new thoughts, doctrines, and modes of reasoning.
