Nothing is gained, everything is lost, by subordinating principle to expediency. — William Lloyd Garrison. American journalist and abolitionist (1805–1879)
I am in earnest; I will not equivocate; I will not excuse; I will not retreat a single inch; and I will be heard.
With reasonable men, I will reason; with humane men I will plead; but to tyrants I will give no quarter, nor waste arguments where they will certainly be lost.
