No Man Can Put A Chain About

Liberty Is Meaningless Where The Right To Utter One's Thoughts And Opinions Has Ceased To Exist. That, Of All Rights, Is The Dread Of Tyrants. It Is The Right Which They First Of All Strike Down.

My Great And Exceeding Joy Over These Stupendous Achievements, Especially Over The Abolition Of Slavery (which Had Been The Deepest Desire And The Great Labor Of My Life), Was Slightly Tinged With A Feeling Of Sadness.

The White Man's Happiness Cannot Be Purchased By The Black Man's Misery.

I Will Unite With Anyone To Do Good, But With No One To Do Harm.

... And In Thinking Of My Life, I Almost Forgot My Liberty.
