More quotes by 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
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
Everyone should be treated fairly no matter what they look like.
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

William Lloyd Garrison

William Lloyd Garrison
Are right and wrong convertible terms, dependant upon popular opinion?
William Lloyd Garrison
Liberty for each, for all, and forever!
William Lloyd Garrison
Gradualism in theory is perpetuity in practice.
William Lloyd Garrison
In firing his gun, John Brown has merely told what time of day it is. It is high noon.
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
The success of any great moral enterprise does not depend upon numbers.
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
