Hands Quotes by James Otis

James Otis

And I take this opportunity to declare, that… I will to my dying day oppose with all the powers and faculties God has given me, all such instruments of slavery on the one hand, and villainy on the other, as this writ of assistance is. It appears to me the worst instrument of arbitrary power, – the most destructive of English liberty and the fundamental principles of law, that ever was found in an English law book.

I am forced to get my living by the labour of my hand; and the sweat of my brow… for bitter bread, earned under the frowns of some who have no natural or divine right to be above me, and entirely owe their grandeur and honor to grinding the faces of the poor.
