I Shall Act As I Think My

United We Stand, Divided We Fall. Let Us Not Split Into Factions Which Must Destroy That Union Upon Which Our Existence Hangs.

It Is Natural For Man To Indulge In The Illusions Of Hope. We Are Apt To Shut Our Eyes Against A Painful Truth, And Listen To The Song Of That Siren Till She Transforms Us Into Beasts... For My Part, Whatever Anguish Of Spirit It May Cost, I Am Willing To Know The Whole Truth, To Know The Worst, And To Provide For It.

We Have Not Yet Begun To Fight.

I Believe A Time Will Come When An Opportunity Will Be Offered To Abolish This Lamentable Evil. Everything We Do Is To Improve It, If It Happens In Our Day; If Not, Let Us Transmit To Our Descendants, Together With Our Slaves, A Pity For Their Unhappy Lot And An Abhorrence Of Slavery.

The King Has Degenerated Into A Tyrant And Forfeits All Rights To His Subjects' Obedience.
