I Had As Well Be Killed Running

Now, Take The Constitution According To Its Plain Reading, And I Defy The Presentation Of A Single Pro-slavery Clause In It. On The Other Hand It Will Be Found To Contain Principles And Purposes, Entirely Hostile To The Existence Of Slavery.

The Mind Does Not Take Its Complexion From The Skin.

Interpreted As It Ought To Be Interpreted, The Constitution Is A Glorious Liberty Document. Read Its Preamble, Consider Its Purposes. Is Slavery Among Them? Is It At The Gateway? Or Is It In The Temple? It Is Neither.

Everybody Has Asked The Question, ... 'what Shall We Do With The Negro?' I Have Had But One Answer From The Beginning. Do Nothing With Us! You're Doing With Us Has Already Played The Mischief With Us. Do Nothing With Us! If The Apples Will Not Remain On The Tree Of Their Own Strength, ... Let Them Fall! I Am Not For Tying Or Fastening Them On The Tree In Any Way, Except By Nature's Plan, And If They Will Not Stay There, Let Them Fall. And If The Negro Cannot Stand On His Own Legs, Let Him Fall Also.

It Is Easier To Build Strong Children Than To Repair Broken Men.
