When men sow the wind it is rational to expect that they will reap the whirlwind.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning.

It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.

Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.

A gentleman will not insult me, and no man not a gentleman can insult me

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground.
