The Giant Joshua Quotes

“Erastus made himself look at his men. There was fear in their eyes but no panic. They had faced too much for panic. The psychology of courage buckled them together like a visible bond. He did not try to reassure them falsely. There was danger, plenty of it; they faced starvation. But there were worse things than starvation. There were mobs and rapings and the tar bucket. They had their freedom and their strong right arms--what more did any man need?”
― Maurine Whipple, The Giant Joshua

“Things ain't stopped happenin' to us by a long shot. But I thank God I'm right in the thick of it.”
― Maurine Whipple, The Giant Joshua
