Frederick Douglass Liberty Quotations

... and in thinking of my life, I almost forgot my liberty.

Interpreted as it ought to be interpreted, the constitution is a Glorious Liberty Document!

Liberty for all; chains for none.

To drag a man in fetters into the grand illuminated temple of liberty, and call upon him to join you in joyous anthems, were inhuman mockery and sacrilegious irony.

What is possible for me is possible for you.

I know no class of my fellowmen, however just, enlightened, and humane, which can be wisely and safely trusted absolutely with the liberties of any other class.

The Constitution is a GLORIOUS LIBERTY DOCUMENT. Read its preamble, consider it purposes. Is slavery among them? Is it at the gateway? or is it in the temple? it is neither.
