Seite 173 - No matter in what language his doom may have been pronounced. No matter what complexion incompatible with freedom, an Indian or an African sun may have burnt upon him. No matter in what disastrous battle his liberty may have been cloven down. No matter with what solemnities he may have been devoted upon the altar of slavery. The first moment he touches the sacred soil of Britain, the altar and the god sink together in the dust...

Of all the calamities which beset and waylay the life of man, this comes the nearest to our heart, and is that wherein the proudest of us all feels himself to be nothing more than he is : but I find myself unable...
Seite 265 - I have no idea of a liberty unconnected with honesty and justice. Nor do I believe that any good constitutions of government, or of freedom, can find it necessary for their security to doom any part of the people to a permanent slavery. Such a constitution of freedom, if such can be, is in effect no more than another name for the tyranny of the strongest faction; and factions in republics have been, and are, full as capable as monarchs of the most cruel oppression and injustice.
