God cannot approve of a system of servitude, in which the master is guilty of assuming absolute power - of assuming God's place and relation towards his fellow-men.

We must continue to judge of slavery by what it is, and not by what you tell us it will, or may be.

But I love honesty, and, therefore; do I make great account of facts.

I do not object to the construction of rail roads and canals.

... you are legally allowed to drink kid, so we figured the best thing for you is a car.

I'm regarded quite asexually by a lot of people. And the people that understand me the best are nearer to what I understand about me.
