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 – [Respectability]
My country is the world; my countrymen are mankind.
William Lloyd Garrison – [Country]
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 case like the present.
William Lloyd Garrison – [Moderation]
We may be personally defeated, but our principles never.
