William Lloyd Garrison
Everyone should be treated fairly no matter what they look like.
William Lloyd Garrison
I will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice.
William Lloyd Garrison

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
Our country is the world-our countrymen are all mankind.
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
Gradualism in theory is perpetuity in practice.
William Lloyd Garrison
A man's country is the world.
William Lloyd Garrison
The success of any great moral enterprise does not depend upon numbers.
