They Who Study Mankind With A Whip

A Man's Character Always Takes Its Hue, More Or Less, From The Form And Color Of Things About Him.

The White Man's Happiness Cannot Be Purchased By The Black Man's Misery.

I Will Unite With Anyone To Do Good, But With No One To Do Harm.

I Have Often Sung To Drown My Sorrow, But Seldom To Express My Happiness. Crying For Joy, And Singing For Joy, Were Alike Uncommon To Me While In The Jaws Of Slavery. The Singing Of A Man Cast Away Upon A Desolate Island Might Be As Appropriately Considered As Evidence Of Contentment And Happiness, As The Singing Of A Slave; The Songs Of The One And Of The Other Are Prompted By The Same Emotion.

For Of All Slaveholders With Whom I Have Ever Met, Religious Slaveholders Are The Worst. I Have Ever Found Them The Meanest And Basest, The Most Cruel And Cowardly, Of All Others.
