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.

When I was at Hartford in Connecticut, where I lived during the war, I published several pieces which were well received, not only by those of my own colour, but by a number of the white people, who thought they might do good among their servants.

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

The next thing I would mention, and warn you against, is profaneness. This you know is forbidden by God.

Good servants frequently make good masters.

We cannot certainly, have any excuse either for taking any thing that belongs to our masters without their leave, or for being unfaithful in their business.

If there was no Bible, it would be no matter whether you could read or not. Reading other books would do you no good.
