I think every family should have a dog; it is like having a perpetual baby; it is the plaything and crony of the whole house. It keeps them all young.

John Brown 82 quotes

These men are all talk; What ...

These men are all talk; What is needed is action - action!

Now let us thank th' eternal power, convinced That Heaven but tries our virtue by affliction: That oft the cloud that wraps the present hour Serves but to brighten all our future days.

John Brown 82 quotes

I am gaining in health slowly...

I am gaining in health slowly, and am quite cheerful in view of my approaching end, - being fully persuaded that I am worth inconceivably more to hang than any other purpose.

John Brown 82 quotes

Symptoms are the body's mother tongue; signs are in a foreign language.

The United States is a place where the men govern, but the women rule.

Caution, Sir! I am eternally ...

Caution, Sir! I am eternally tired of hearing that word caution. It is nothing but the word of cowardice!

John Brown 82 quotes

Holiness does not consist in ...

Holiness does not consist in mystic speculations, enthusiastic fervours, or uncommanded austerities; it consists in thinking as God thinks, and willing as God wills.

John Brown 82 quotes

Be mild with the mild, shrewd...

Be mild with the mild, shrewd with the crafty, confiding to the honest, rough to the ruffian, and a thunderbolt to the liar. But in all this, never be unmindful of your own dignity.

John Brown 82 quotes

Had I so interfered in behalf...

Had I so interfered in behalf of the rich, the powerful, the intelligent, the so-called great, or in behalf of any of their friends...every man in this court would have deemed it an act worthy of reward rather than punishment.

John Brown 82 quotes

The intent and not the deed I...

The intent and not the deed Is in our power; and, therefore, who dares greatly Does greatly.

John Brown 82 quotes

I want you to understand that...

I want you to understand that I respect the rights of the poorest and weakest of colored people, oppressed by the slave system, just as much as I do those of the most wealthy and powerful. That is the idea that has moved me, and that alone.

John Brown 82 quotes

I am quite certain that the c...

I am quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.

John Brown 82 quotes

Whereas, Slavery, throughout ...

Whereas, Slavery, throughout its entire existence in the United States is none other than a most barbarous, unprovoked, and unjustifiable War of one portion of its citizens upon another portion; the only conditions of which are perpetual imprisonment, and hopeless servitude or absolute extermination; in utter disregard and violation of those eternal and self-evident truths set forth in our Declaration of Independence.

John Brown 82 quotes

I am yet too young to underst...

I am yet too young to understand that God is any respecter of persons. I believe that to have interfered as I have done...in behalf of His despised poor, was not wrong, but right. Now, if it is deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life for the furtherance of the ends of justice, and mingle my blood further with the blood of my children, and with the blood of millions in this slave country whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel, and unjust enactments, I submit: so let it be done!

John Brown 82 quotes

I cannot remember a night so ...

I cannot remember a night so dark as to have hindered the coming day.

John Brown 82 quotes

No man, with a man's heart in...

No man, with a man's heart in him, gets far on his way without some bitter, soul-searching disappointment. - Happy he who is brave enough to push on another stage of the journey, and rest where there are "living springs of water, and three-score and ten palms."

John Brown 82 quotes

The same eye cannot both look...

The same eye cannot both look up to heaven and down to earth.

John Brown 82 quotes

I have been whipped, as the s...

I have been whipped, as the saying is, but I am sure I can recover all the lost capital occasioned by that disaster; by only hanging a few moments by the neck; and I feel quite determined to make the utmost possible out of a defeat.
