If a servant strives to please his master and studies and takes pains to do it, I believe there are but few masters who would use such a servant cruelly.

All the time spent idly, is spent wickedly, and is unfaithfulness to our masters.

There are but two places where all go after death, white and black, rich and poor; those places are Heaven and Hell. Heaven is a place made for those, who are born again, and who love God, and it is a place where they will be happy for ever.

As we depend upon our masters, for what we eat and drink and wear, and for all our comfortable things in this world, we cannot be happy, unless we please them.

That liberty is a great thing we may know from our own feelings, and we may likewise judge so from the conduct of the white-people, in the late war.

If we should ever get to Heaven, we shall find nobody to reproach us for being black, or for being slaves.

It is our duty to be faithful, not with eye service as men pleasers.
