More quotes by 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
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
In proportion as we perceive and embrace the truth do we become just, heroic, magnanimous, divine.
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
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
The compact which exists between the North and the South is a covenant with death and an agreement with hell.
William Lloyd Garrison
The success of any great moral enterprise does not depend upon numbers.
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 will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice.
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
Slavery will not be overthrown without excitement, a most tremendous excitement.
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
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
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
Our country is the world-our countrymen are all mankind.
William Lloyd Garrison
A man's country is the world.
William Lloyd Garrison
No man shall rule over me with my consent. I will rule over no man.
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
That which is not just is not law.
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
