It Was Unlawful, As Well As Unsafe,

I Have No Protection At Home, Or Resting Place Abroad. ... I Am An Outcast From The Society Of My Childhood, And An Outlaw In The Land Of My Birth. I Am A Stranger With Thee, And A Sojourner As All My Fathers Were.

... And In Thinking Of My Life, I Almost Forgot My Liberty.

I Have Observed This In My Experience Of Slavery, That Whenever My Condition Was Improved, Instead Of Increasing My Contentment; It Only Increased My Desire To Be Free, And Set Me Thinking Of Plans To Gain My Freedom.

The Man Who Is Right Is A Majority. He Who Has God And Conscience On His Side, Has A Majority Against The Universe.

People Might Not Get All They Work For In This World, But They Must Certainly Work For All They Get.
