More quotes by Frederick Douglass
The destiny of the colored American ... is the destiny of America.
Frederick Douglass
Now, take the Constitution according to its plain reading, and I defy the presentation of a single pro-slavery clause in it. On the other hand it will be found to contain principles and purposes, entirely hostile to the existence of slavery.
Frederick Douglass
I love the religion of Christianity - which cometh from above - which is a pure, peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of good fruits, and without hypocrisy.
Frederick Douglass
I glory in the conflict, that I may hereafter exult in the victory. I know that victory is certain.
Frederick Douglass
I recognize the Republican Party as the sheet anchor of the colored man's political hopes and the ark of his safety.
Frederick Douglass
My hopes were never brighter than now.
Frederick Douglass
The soul that is within me no man can degrade.
Frederick Douglass
Allow us the dignity to fight for our own freedom
Frederick Douglass
The American Constitution is a written instrument full and complete in itself. No Court in America, no Congress, no President, can add a single word thereto, or take a single word threreto. It is a great national enactment done by the people, and can only be altered, amended, or added to by the people.
Frederick Douglass
You are not judged by the height you have risen, but from the depth you have climbed.
Frederick Douglass
If there is no struggle, there is no progress.
Frederick Douglass
It was a glorious resurrection, from the tomb of slavery, to the heaven of slavery. My long-crushed spirit rose, cowardice departed, bold defiance took its place and I now resolved that, however long I might remain a slave in form, the day had passed forever when I could be a slave in fact.
Frederick Douglass
Men are whipped oftenest who are whipped easiest.
Frederick Douglass
Educate your sons and daughters, send them to school, and show them that beside the cartridge box, the ballot box, and the jury box, you also have the knowledge box.
Frederick Douglass
I escaped from slavery and became a leading abolitionist and speaker.
Frederick Douglass
We are free to say that in respect to political rights, we hold women to be justly entitled to all we claim for men.
Frederick Douglass
American labor rights activist, on activities of the National Farm Workers Association Human law may know no distinction among men in respect of rights, but human practice may.
Frederick Douglass
Let us render the tyrant no aid.
Frederick Douglass
A man, at times, gets something for nothing, but it will, in his hands, amount to nothing.
Frederick Douglass
Praying for freedom never did me any good til I started praying with my feet.
Frederick Douglass
