All the nations of the earth are crying out for liberty and equality. Away, away with tyranny and oppression!

It is harder to kill a whisper than even a shouted calumny.

Talk without effort is nothing.

... it is not the color of the skin that makes the man or the woman, but the principle formed in the soul. Brilliant wit will shine, come from whence it will; and genius and talent will not hide the brightness of its lustre.

All the nations of the earth are crying out for liberty and equality. Away, away with tyranny and oppression!

Come all ye that pass by, and see if there is any sorrow like unto my sorrow.

Take us generally as a people, we are neither lazy nor idle; and considering how little we have to excite or stimulate us, I am almost astonished that there are so many industrious and ambitious ones to be found - although I acknowledge, with extreme sorrow, that there are some who never were and never will be serviceable to society. And have you not a similar class among yourselves?
