More quotes by 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
The compact which exists between the North and the South is a covenant with death and an agreement with hell.
William Lloyd Garrison
You can not possibly have a broader basis for government than that which includes all the people, with all their rights in their hands, and with an equal power to maintain their rights.
William Lloyd Garrison
That which is not just is not law.
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
The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal and hasten the resurrection of the dead.
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
Enslave the liberty of but one human being and the liberties of the world are put in peril.
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
Slavery will not be overthrown without excitement, a most tremendous excitement.
William Lloyd Garrison
There must be no compromise with slavery - none whatever. Nothing is gained, everything is lost, by subordinating principle to expedience.
William Lloyd Garrison
No man shall rule over me with my consent. I will rule over no man.
William Lloyd Garrison
The standard of matrimony is erected by affection and purity, and does not depend upon the height, or bulk, or color, or wealth, or poverty of individuals. Water will seek its level nature will have free course and heart will answer to heart.
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
I will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice.
William Lloyd Garrison
It [slavery] has exercised absolute mastery over the American Church. . . . With the Bible in their hands, her priesthood have attempted to prove that slavery came down from God out of heaven. They have become slaveholders and dealers in human flesh.
William Lloyd Garrison
Since the creation of the world there has been no tyrant like Intemperance, and no slaves so cruelly treated as his.
William Lloyd Garrison
Gradualism in theory is perpetuity in practice.
William Lloyd Garrison
Our country is the world-our countrymen are all mankind.
William Lloyd Garrison
In proportion as we perceive and embrace the truth do we become just, heroic, magnanimous, divine.
William Lloyd Garrison
