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

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.

But this will not do, God will certainly punish you for stealing and for being unfaithful.

Let all the time you can get be spent in trying to learn to read.

Besides all this, if you are idle, and take to bad courses, you will hurt those of your brethren who are slaves, and do all in your power to prevent their being free.

The Bible is a revelation of the mind and will of God to men. Therein we may learn, what God is.

Those of you who can read I must beg you to read the Bible, and whenever you can get time, study the Bible, and if you can get no other time, spare some of your time from sleep, and learn what the mind and will of God is.
