Angelina Emily Grimké: “The Bible then is the book I want you to read in the spirit of inquiry, and the spirit of prayer.”

If Prophets and Apostles, Martyrs, and Reformers had not been willing to suffer for the truth's sake, where would the world have been now?

The laws greatly obstruct the manumission of slaves, even where the master is willing to enfranchise them.

So far from thinking slavery a sin, or that I had no right to own the slaves inherited from my father, I thought no one could venture to dispute that right, any more than he could my right to his land or his stock.

No station or character can destroy individual responsibility, in the matter of reproving sin.
