The quotes I Like most

The quotes I Like most from Frederick Douglass

and  Henry Drummond

Frederick Douglass was an American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman. After escaping from slavery in Maryland, he became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York, gaining note for his oratory and incisive antislavery writings

Prof Henry Drummond  (17 August 1851 – 11 March 1897) was a Scottish evangelist, biologist, writer and lecturer. Many of his writings were too nicely adapted to the needs of his own day to justify the expectation that they would long survive it, but few men exercised more religious influence in their own generation, especially on young men. His sermon "The Greatest Thing in the World" remains popular in Christian circles.

America is false to the past, 
false to the present, 
and solemnly binds herself 
to be false to the future. 
.......Frederick Douglass

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. 

......Frederick Douglass

“To love abundantly is to live abundantly, 

and to love forever is to live forever. 

Hence, eternal life is inextricably bound up with love, 

the  Greatest Thing in the World.”

....... Henry Drummond
