1.
I say whatever tastes sweet to the most perfect person,
that is finally right.
2.
I say nourish a great intellect, a great brain;
If I have said anything to the contrary, I hereby
retract it.
3.
I say man shall not hold property in man;
I say the least developed person on earth is just as
important and sacred to himself or herself, as
the most developed person is to himself or herself.
4.
I say where liberty draws not the blood out of
slavery, there slavery draws the blood out of
liberty,
I say the word of the good old cause in These States,
and resound it hence over the world.
