Our Destiny Is Largely In Our Hands.

Knowledge Makes A Man Unfit To Be A Slave.

From My Earliest Recollection, I Date The Entertainment Of A Deep Conviction That Slavery Would Not Always Be Able To Hold Me Within Its Foul Embrace; And In The Darkest Hours Of My Career In Slavery, This Living Word Of Faith And Spirit Of Hope Departed Not From Me, But Remained Like Ministering Angels To Cheer Me Through The Gloom. This Good Spirit Was From God, And To Him I Offer Thanksgiving And Praise.

Money Is The Measure Of Morality, And The Success Or Failure Of Slavery As A Money-making System, Determines With Many Whether...it Should Be Maintained Or Abolished.

I Love The Pure, Peaceable, And Impartial Christianity Of Christ; I Therefore Hatethe Corrupt, Slaveholding, Women-whipping, Cradle-plundering, Partial, And Hypocritical Christianity Of This Land. Indeed, I Can See No Reason, But The Most Deceitful One, For Calling The Religion Of This Land Christianity. I Look Upon It As The Climax Of All Misnomers, The Boldest Of All Frauds, And The Grossest Of All Libels.

It Is Not Light That We Need, But Fire; It Is Not The Gentle Shower, But Thunder. We Need The Storm, The Whirlwind, And The Earthquake.
