Douglass was a fascinating individual. Here are some of my favorite Douglass quotes.

“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”

“I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence.”

“People might not get all they work for in this world, but they must certainly work for all they get.”

“To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker.”

All of them just as true today as when he said them.
