More quotes by William Lloyd Garrison
It is for us to discharge the high duties that devolve on us, and carry our race onward. To be no better, no wiser, no greater than the past is to be little and foolish and bad it is to misapply noble means, to sacrifice glorious opportunities for the performance of sublime deeds, to become cumberers of the ground.
William Lloyd Garrison
To say that everything in the bible is to be believed , simply because it is found in that volume, is equally absurd and pernicious... To discard a portion of scripture is not necessarily to reject the truth, but may be the highest evidence that one can give of his love of truth.
William Lloyd Garrison
Be faithful, be vigilant, be untiring in your efforts to break every yoke, and let the oppressed go free. Come what may - cost what it may - inscribe on the banner which you unfurl to the breeze, as your religious and political motto - NO COMPROMISE WITH SLAVERY! NO UNION WITH SLAVEHOLDERS
William Lloyd Garrison
Enslave the liberty of but one human being and the liberties of the world are put in peril.
William Lloyd Garrison
I have a need to be all on fire, for I have mountains of ice about me to melt.
William Lloyd Garrison
There is no safety where there is no strength no strength without Union no Union without justice no justice where faith and truth are wanting. The right to be free is a truth planted in the hearts of men.
William Lloyd Garrison
The success of any great moral enterprise does not depend upon numbers.
William Lloyd Garrison
My crime is that I will not go with the multitude to do evil. My singularity is that when I say that freedom is of God and slavery is of the devil, I mean just what I say. My fanaticism is that I insist on the American people abolishing slavery, or ceasing to prate on the rights of man.
William Lloyd Garrison
I will be as harsh as truth, and uncompromising as justice... I am in earnest, I will not equivocate, I will not excuse, I will not retreat a single inch, and I will be heard.
William Lloyd Garrison
Our country is the world-our countrymen are all mankind.
William Lloyd Garrison
A man's country is the world.
William Lloyd Garrison
In proportion as we perceive and embrace the truth do we become just, heroic, magnanimous, divine.
William Lloyd Garrison
Slavery will not be overthrown without excitement, a most tremendous excitement.
William Lloyd Garrison
Gradualism in theory is perpetuity in practice.
William Lloyd Garrison
The Sabbath, as now recognized and enforced, is one of the main pillars of Priestcraft and Superstition, and the stronghold of a merely ceremonial Religion.
William Lloyd Garrison
I will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice.
William Lloyd Garrison
We may be personally defeated, but our principles never!
William Lloyd Garrison
With reasonable men, I will reason with humane men I will plead but to tyrants I will give no quarter, nor waste arguments where they will certainly be lost.
William Lloyd Garrison
Liberty for each, for all, and forever!
William Lloyd Garrison
No man shall rule over me with my consent. I will rule over no man.
William Lloyd Garrison
