Without Struggle There Is No Success

America Is False To The Past, False To The Present, And Solemnly Binds Herself To Be False To The Future.

A Great Man, Tender Of Heart, Strong Of Nerve, Boundless Patience And Broadest Sympathy, With No Motive Apart From His Country.

Heaven's Blessing Must Attend All, And Freedom Must Soon Be Given To The Pining Millions Under A Ruthless Bondage.

I Was Broken In Body, Soul, And Spirit. My Natural Elasticity Was Crushed, My Intellect Languished, The Disposition To Read Departed, The Cheerful Spark That Lingered About My Eye Died; The Dark Night Of Slavery Closed In Upon Me; And Behold A Man Transformed Into A Brute!

The Silver Trump Of Freedom Had Roused My Soul To Eternal Wakefulness. Freedom Now Appeared, To Disappear No More Forever. It Was Heard In Every Sound, And Seen In Every Thing.
