Charles Sumner Quotes

I Have Fought A Long Battle With Slavery; And I Confess My Solicitude When I See Any Thing That Looks Like Concession To It. It Is Not Enough To Show Me That A Measure Is Expedient: You Must Show Me Also That It Is Right. Ah, Sir, Can Any Thing Be Expedient Which Is Not Right? From The Beginning Of Our History The Country Has Been Afflicted With Compromise. It Is By Compromise That Human Rights Have Been Abandoned. I Insist That This Shall Cease. The Country Needs Repose After All Its Trials: It Deserves Repose. And Repose Can Only Be Found In Everlasting Principles. It Cannot Be Found By Inserting In Your Constitution The Disfranchisement Of A Race.
