John Brown An Address at the 14th Anniversary of Storer College Quotes

“That a man might do something very audacious and desperate for money, power or fame, was to the general apprehension quite possible; but, in face of plainly-written law, in face of constitutional guarantees protecting each state against domestic violence, in face of a nation of forty million of people, that nineteen men could invade a great State to liberate a despised and hated race, was to the average intellect and conscience, too monstrous for belief.”
― Frederick Douglass, John Brown

“In studying the character and works of a great man, it is always desirable to learn in what he is distinguished from others, and what have been the causes if this difference.”
― Frederick Douglass, John Brown
