Frederick Douglass: “Man was not made as an attribute to education, but education as an attribute to man.”

The good to be sought and the evil to be shunned were flung in the balance and weighed against each other.

His iron sentences, cold and harsh, sunk like heavy weights deep into my heart, and stirred up within me a rebellion not soon to be allayed.

For the moment the northern lamb was transformed into a lion, and his roar was terrible.

The anti-slavery platform had performed its work, and my voice was no longer needed.
