More quotes by William Lloyd Garrison

William Lloyd Garrison
Liberty for each, for all, and forever!
William Lloyd Garrison

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
In proportion as we perceive and embrace the truth do we become just, heroic, magnanimous, divine.
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 am aware that many object to the severity of my language but is there not cause for severity?
William Lloyd Garrison
Everyone should be treated fairly no matter what they look like.
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
Our country is the world-our countrymen are all mankind.
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
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
Wherever there is a human being, I see God-given rights inherent in that being, whatever may be the sex or complexion.
