A man's country is the world.

The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal and hasten the resurrection of the dead.

I will be as harsh as truth, and uncompromising as justice... I am in earnest, I will not equivocate, I will not excuse, I will not retreat a single inch, and I will be heard.

Be faithful, be vigilant, be untiring in your efforts to break every yoke, and let the oppressed go free. Come what may - cost what it may - inscribe on the banner which you unfurl to the breeze, as your religious and political motto - "NO COMPROMISE WITH SLAVERY! NO UNION WITH SLAVEHOLDERS

Wherever there is a human being, I see God-given rights inherent in that being, whatever may be the sex or complexion.

I have a need to be all on fire, for I have mountains of ice about me to melt.

I will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice.
