“I dwell mostly upon the religious aspects, because I believe it is the religious people who are to be relied upon in this Anti-Slavery movement. Do not misunderstand my railing—do not class me with those who despise religion—do not identify me with the infidel. I love the religion of Christianity—which cometh from above—which is a pure, peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of good fruits, and without hypocrisy. I love that religion which sends its votaries to bind up the wounds of those who have fallen among thieves. By all the love I bear such a Christianity as this, I hate that of the Priest and the Levite, that with long-faced Phariseeism goes up to Jerusalem to worship and leaves the bruised and wounded to die. I despise that religion which can carry Bibles to the heathen on the other side of the globe and withhold them from the heathen on this side—which can talk about human rights yonder and traffic in human flesh here.... I love that which makes its votaries do to others as they would that others should do to them. I hope to see a revival of it—thank God it is revived. I see revivals of it in the absence of the other sort of revivals. I believe it to be confessed now, that there has not been a sensible man converted after the old sort of way, in the last five years.”

“Karşına çıkan insanların sözlerine değil, icraatlarına bakacaksın. Sana sevdiğini söyleyene değil, hissettirene inanacaksın. Dertlerine üzülene, neşene sevinene, başarılarınla gurur duyana, her durumda yanında durana sarılacaksın. İyiliğini isteyene, yardımına koşana, senin için dua edene bağlanacaksın. Boş konuşanlarla zaman harcamayacaksın. Sana değer vermeyene, kaybetmekten korkmayana laf anlatmakla uğraşmayacaksın. Saygı duymayandan, anlayışla yaklaşmayandan derhal uzaklaşacaksın.”

“...'undertow'. It describes (...) how underneath our own everyday lives - the shopping and squabbles and weeding and trips to the vet - there's a sense of being dragged slowly off, not against our will but regardless of it. And fighting the undertow, as children are quick to learn, is not usually the best way of getting back to the beach. Floating along with it, on the other hand, can be fatal. It's really the struggle, the argument with oneself, that interests...”
