Slavery is no more sinful, by the Christian code, than it is sinful to wear a whole coat, while another is in tatters, to eat a better meal than a neighbor, or otherwise to enjoy ease and plenty, while our fellow creatures are suffering and in want. – James Fenimore Cooper
Thy treasures of gold Are dim with the blood of the hearts thou hast sold; Thy home may be lovely, but round it I hear The crack of the whip, and the footsteps of fear. – Lydia Maria Child
From a very early age, my wife and I told our son that there are times and places for everything. I told him, look, when youre in class, you have to be quiet and listen to your teacher, but when you go out to the playground, you can scream and be silly. – Mark Hoppus
