More quotes by 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. 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
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
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
I have a need to be all on fire, for I have mountains of ice about me to melt.
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
We may be personally defeated, but our principles never!
William Lloyd Garrison
Everyone should be treated fairly no matter what they look like.
William Lloyd Garrison
Has not the experience of two centuries shown that gradualism in theory is perpetuity in practice? Is there an instance, in the history of the world, where slaves have been educated for freedom by their task-masters?
William Lloyd Garrison
Slavery will not be overthrown without excitement, a most tremendous excitement.
William Lloyd Garrison
And now let me give the sentiment which has been, and ever will be, the governing passion of my soul: 'Liberty for each, for all, and forever!'
William Lloyd Garrison
Gradualism in theory is perpetuity in practice.
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
Enslave the liberty of but one human being and the liberties of the world are put in peril.
William Lloyd Garrison
The success of any great moral enterprise does not depend upon numbers.
William Lloyd Garrison
Our country is the world-our countrymen are all mankind.
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
