Top 5 quotes from Frederick Douglass
"The whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle. . . .If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate 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."
"A gentleman will not insult me, and no man not a gentleman can insult me."
"What, to the American slave, is your Fourth of July? I answer: A day that reveals to him, more than all other days of the year, the gross injustices and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him your celebration is a sham."
"It is not really difficult to construct a series of inferences, each dependent upon its predecessor and each simple in itself. If, after doing so, one simply knocks out all the central inferences and presents one's audience with the starting-point and the conclusion, one may produce a startling, though perhaps a meretricious, effect."
"No man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck."

"As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand."
"The man whose only pleasure in life is making money, weighs less on the moral scale than an angleworm."
"Some folks as they grow older grow wise, but most folks simply grow stubborner."
"How do you know so much about everything? was asked of a very wise and intelligent man; and the answer was 'By never being afraid or ashamed to ask questions as to anything of which I was ignorant."
