Cruelty is contagious in uncivilized communities. |
Hot weather brings out snakes and slaveholders, and I like one class of the venomous creatures as little as I do the other. |
My master had power and law on his side; I had a determined will. There is might in each. |
There are no bonds so strong as those which are formed by suffering together. |
There are wrongs which even the grave does not bury. |
