From William Lloyd Garrison (12/12/1805 – 5/24/1879), prominent American abolitionist, journalist, suffragist, and social reformer. “The standard of matrimony is erected by affection and purity, and does not depend upon the height, or bulk, or color, or wealth, or poverty of individuals. Water will seek its level; nature will have free course; and heart will answer to heart.” “Enslave the liberty of but one human being and the liberties of the world are put in peril.” “The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal and hasten the resurrection of the dead.” “With reasonable men, I will reason; with humane men I will plead; but to tyrants I will give no quarter, nor waste arguments where they will certainly be lost.”
