Quotes by John Brown

…what we need is action – action!

Action

Needs

Be mild with the mild, shrewd with the crafty, confiding to the honest, rough to the ruffian, and a thunderbolt to the liar. But in all this, never be unmindful of your own dignity.

Character

Honor

Liars

Caution, Sir! I am eternally tired of hearing that word caution. It is nothing but the word of cowardice!

Cowardice

Hearing

Tired

Had I so interfered in behalf of the rich, the powerful, the intelligent, the so-called great, or in behalf of any of their friends…every man in this court would have deemed it an act worthy of reward rather than punishment.

Intelligent

Men

Powerful

Here, before God, in the presence of these witnesses, from this time, I consecrate my life to the destruction of slavery!

Dedication

God

Life

Holiness does not consist in mystic speculations, enthusiastic fervours, or uncommanded austerities; it consists in thinking as God thinks, and willing as God wills.

Doe

Holiness

Thinking

I am gaining in health slowly, and am quite cheerful in view of my approaching end, – being fully persuaded that I am worth inconceivably more to hang than any other purpose.

Cheerful

Purpose

Views

I am quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.

Blood

Thinking

War

I am worth inconceivably more to hang than for any other purpose.

Purpose

I am yet too young to understand that God is any respecter of persons. I believe that to have interfered as I have done…in behalf of His despised poor, was not wrong, but right. Now, if it is deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life for the furtherance of the ends of justice, and mingle my blood further with the blood of my children, and with the blood of millions in this slave country whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel, and unjust enactments, I submit: so let it be done!
