Wherever there is a human being, I see God-given rights inherent in that being, whatever may be the sex or complexion.

William Lloyd Garrison 1805–1879 (1885)

Our country is the world, our countrymen are all mankind.

We have a natural right, therefore, to seek the abolition of slavery throughout the globe.

I will say, finally, that I despair of the republic while slavery exists therein.

I have not come here with reference to any flag but that of freedom.
