Frederick Douglass
  • One and God make a majority.

  • A battle lost or won is easily described, understood, and appreciated, but the moral growth of a great nation requires reflection, as well as observation, to appreciate it.

  • The white man's happiness cannot be purchased by the black man's misery.

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

  • It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.
