We are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of Nature has placed in our power... the battle, sir, is not to the strong alone it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.

It is a debt we owe to the purity of our religion to show that it is at variance with that law which warrants slavery.

Shall we, who have laid the proud British lion at our feet, now be afraid of his whelps?

This is all the inheritance I give to my dear family. The religion of Christ will give them one which will make them rich indeed.

Would any one believe that I am master of slaves by my own purchase? I am drawn along by the general inconvenience of living without them.
