| “It often requires more courage to dare to do right than to fear to do wrong.” ― Abraham Lincoln |
| “You may choose to look the other way but you can never say again that you did not know.” ― William Wilberforce |
| “Is
life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of
chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course
others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” ― Patrick Henry |
| “Why
should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home
and drop bombs and bullets on Brown people in Vietnam while so-called
Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple
human rights? No I’m not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder
and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white
slave masters of the darker people the world over. This is the day when
such evils must come to an end. I have been warned that to take such a
stand would cost me millions of dollars. But I have said it once and I
will say it again. The real enemy of my people is here. I will not
disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave
those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality. If
I thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million
of my people they wouldn’t have to draft me, I’d join tomorrow. I have
nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I’ll go to jail, so
what? We’ve been in jail for 400 years.” ― Muhammad Ali |
| “Let
every American, every lover of liberty, every well wisher to his
posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in
the least particular, the laws of the country; and never to tolerate
their violation by others.” ― Abraham Lincoln |
| “Everything which made Abraham Lincoln the loved and honored man he was, it is in the power of the humblest American boy to imitate.” ― New York Times April 19 1865 |
| “In
giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free -- honorable
alike in what we give, and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or
meanly lose, the last best hope of earth” ― Abraham Lincoln |
| “Lincoln grew immeasurably as he came to think of himself as an “instrument of God’s will.” ― Joe L. Wheeler |
| "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it." ― Abraham Lincoln |
| "I
leave you, hoping that the lamp of liberty will burn in your bosoms
until there shall no longer be a doubt that all men are created free
and equal." ― Abraham Lincoln |
