"The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass," by Frederick Douglass, (1892 edition)
That, my friend, is among the most inspiring two pages I have every in my life read.
“A man without force is without the essential dignity of humanity.”
What an amazing truth.
New tagline ....
Perhaps the best tagline I’ve ever had...
“Hereditary bondsmen! Know ye not
Who would be free themselves must strike the blow?
By their right arms the conquest must be wrought?
Will Gaul or Muscovite redress ye? No!
True, they may lay your proud despoilers low,
But not for you will Freedom’s altars flame.
Shades of the Helots! triumph o’er thy foe!
Greece! change thy lords, thy state is still the same;
Thy glorious day is o’er, but not thine years of shame.”
Lord Byron
