More quotes by 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
The success of any great moral enterprise does not depend upon numbers.
William Lloyd Garrison
Are right and wrong convertible terms, dependant upon popular opinion?
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
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
Our country is the world, our countrymen are all mankind. We love the land of our nativity, only as we love all other lands. The interests, rights, and liberties of American citizens are no more dear to us than are those of the whole human race. Hence we can allow no appeal to patriotism, to revenge any national insult or injury.
William Lloyd Garrison
In proportion as we perceive and embrace the truth do we become just, heroic, magnanimous, divine.
William Lloyd Garrison
I will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice.
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
That which is not just is not law.
William Lloyd Garrison
Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen - but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present.
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
A man's country is the world.
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
The compact which exists between the North and the South is a covenant with death and an agreement with hell.
William Lloyd Garrison
Liberty for each, for all, and forever!
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
Little boldness is needed to assail the opinions and practices of notoriously wicked men but to rebuke great and good men for their conduct, and to impeach their discernment, is the highest effort of moral courage.
William Lloyd Garrison
Everyone should be treated fairly no matter what they look like.
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
