The Thing Worse Than Rebellion

Having Despised Us, It Is Not Strange That Americans Should Seek To Render Us Despicable; Having Enslaved Us, It Is Natural That They Should Strive To Prove Us Unfit For Freedom; Having Denounced Us As Indolent, It Is Not Strange That They Should Cripple Our Enterprises.

A Man Without Force, Is Without The Essential Dignity Of Humanity. Human Nature Is So Constituted, That It Cannot Honor A Helpless Man, Although It Can Pity Him.

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

If There Is No Struggle, There Is No Progress. Those Who Profess To Favor Freedom, And Yet Depreciate Agitation, Are Men Who Want Crops Without Plowing Up The Ground. They Want Rain Without Thunder And Lightning. They Want The Ocean Without The Awful Roar Of Its Many Waters. This Struggle May Be A Moral One; Or It May Be A Physical One; Or It May Be Both Moral And Physical; But It Must Be A Struggle.

The District Of Columbia Is The One Spot Where There Is No Government For The People, Of The People And By The People.
