Fred­er­ick Dou­glass — Those who pro­fess to favor free­dom and yet depre­ci­ate agi­ta­tion, are peo­ple who want crops with­out plough­ing the ground; they want rain with­out thun­der and light­ning; they want the ocean with­out the roar of its many waters. The strug­gle may be a moral one, or it may be a phys­i­cal one, or it may be both. But it must be a strug­gle. Power con­cedes noth­ing with­out a demand; it never has and it never will.
