Without a struggle, there can be no progress.
Subject: Adversity

I was broken in body, soul, and spirit. My natural elasticity was crushed, my intellect languished, the disposition to read departed; the cheerful spark that lingered about my eye died; the dark night of slavery closed upon me; and behold a man transformed into a brute!

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning.

The soul that is within me no man can degrade.

One and God make a majority.

I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence.

Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.

The life of the nation is secure only while the nation is honest, truthful, and virtuous.

It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.

Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have the exact measure of the injustice and wrong which will be imposed on them.

I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs.

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground.

A little learning, indeed, may be a dangerous thing, but the want of learning is a calamity to any people.

Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.

The thing worse than rebellion is the thing that causes rebellion.

No nation can now shut itself up from the surrounding world, and trot round in the same old path of its fathers without interference. The time was when such could be done. Long established customs of hurtful character could formerly fence themselves in, and do their evil work with social impunity. Knowledge was then confined and enjoyed by the privileged few, and the multitude walked on in mental darkness. But a change has now come over the affairs of mankind. Walled cities and empires have become unfashionable. ... Intelligence is penetrating the darkest corners of the globe. Oceans no longer divide, but link nations together. ... What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?

When men sow the wind it is rational to expect that they will reap the whirlwind.

People might not get all they work for in this world, but they must certainly work for all they get.

At a time like this, scorching iron, not convincing argument, is needed.

A man's character always takes its hue, more or less, from the form and color of things about him.
