Knowledge Makes A Man Unfit To Be

The Law On The Side Of Freedom Is Of Great Advantage Only When There Is Power To Make That Law Respected.

Power Concedes Nothing Without Demand. It Never Has And Never Will. Show Me The Exact Amount Of Wrong And Injustices That Are Visited Upon A Person And I Will Show You The Exact Amount Of Words Endured By These People.

Without A Struggle, There Can Be No Progress.

My Great And Exceeding Joy Over These Stupendous Achievements, Especially Over The Abolition Of Slavery (which Had Been The Deepest Desire And The Great Labor Of My Life), Was Slightly Tinged With A Feeling Of Sadness.

The Day Dawns; The Morning Star Is Bright Upon The Horizon! The Iron Gate Of Our Prison Stands Half Open. One Gallant Rush From The North Will Fling It Wide Open, While Four Millions Of Our Brothers And Sisters Shall March Out Into Liberty. The Chance Is Now Given You To End In A Day The Bondage Of Centuries, And To Rise In One Bound From Social Degradation To The Place Of Common Equality With All Other Varieties Of Men.
