If a servant strives to please his master and studies and takes pains to do it, I believe there are but few masters who would use such a servant cruelly.

It is very wicked for you not to take care of your masters goods, but how much worse is it to pilfer and steal from them, whenever you think you shall not be found out.

Let all the time you can get be spent in trying to learn to read.

It is our duty to be faithful, not with eye service as men pleasers.

If we should ever get to Heaven, we shall find nobody to reproach us for being black, or for being slaves.

If you see most people neglect the Bible, and many that can read never look into it, let it not harden you and make you think lightly of it, and that it is a book of no worth.

Those of you who can read I must beg you to read the Bible, and whenever you can get time, study the Bible, and if you can get no other time, spare some of your time from sleep, and learn what the mind and will of God is.

The Bible is a revelation of the mind and will of God to men. Therein we may learn, what God is.

He will bring us all, rich and poor, white and black, to his judgment seat.

I suppose I have had more advantages and privileges than most of you, who are slaves have ever known, and I believe more than many white people have enjoyed, for which I desire to bless God, and pray that he may bless those who have given them to me.

But this will not do, God will certainly punish you for stealing and for being unfaithful.

Now the Bible tells us that we are all by nature, sinners, that we are slaves to sin and Satan, and that unless we are converted, or born again, we must be miserable forever.

Good servants frequently make good masters.

You know that murder is wicked. If you saw your master kill a man, do you suppose this would be any excuse for you, if you should commit the same crime?

As we depend upon our masters, for what we eat and drink and wear, and for all our comfortable things in this world, we cannot be happy, unless we please them.

If there was no Bible, it would be no matter whether you could read or not. Reading other books would do you no good.

We cannot certainly, have any excuse either for taking any thing that belongs to our masters without their leave, or for being unfaithful in their business.

Besides all this, if you are idle, and take to bad courses, you will hurt those of your brethren who are slaves, and do all in your power to prevent their being free.

You have discovered so much kindness and good will to those you thought were oppressed, and had no helper, that I am sure you will not despise what I have wrote, if you judge it will be of any service to them.

There are but two places where all go after death, white and black, rich and poor; those places are Heaven and Hell. Heaven is a place made for those, who are born again, and who love God, and it is a place where they will be happy for ever.

If a servant strives to please his master and studies and takes pains to do it, I believe there are but few masters who would use such a servant cruelly.

We live so little time in this world that it is no matter how wretched and miserable we are, if it prepares us for heaven.

That liberty is a great thing we may know from our own feelings, and we may likewise judge so from the conduct of the white-people, in the late war.

The next thing I would mention, and warn you against, is profaneness. This you know is forbidden by God.

All the time spent idly, is spent wickedly, and is unfaithfulness to our masters.

When I was at Hartford in Connecticut, where I lived during the war, I published several pieces which were well received, not only by those of my own colour, but by a number of the white people, who thought they might do good among their servants.

It is our duty to be faithful not with eye service as men pleasers.

There are but two places where all go after death white and black rich and poor those places are Heaven and Hell. Heaven is a place made for those who are born again and who love God and it is a place where they will be happy for ever.

I like the condition of being an outsider, just passing through.

A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind.

St. Petersburg is a gem of world culture and Russia's most European city.

I love getting on You Tube to look at the old comics. I am in my element seeing guys like Jack Benny and Phil Silvers give interviews.

Judaism will be enmeshed in pride and shame for as long as it endures. But to endure as a country, Israel must shun both these tendencies.

Nearly every communication method we invent eventually conveys unwanted commercial messages.

I've never studied the classics, but I'd like to. My teacher offered to show me how the Greeks were able to sculpt someone perfectly. From there, you can go off and experiment - sort of like jazz. Once you learn to play anything, you can break the form and go and do something even bigger.

I don't listen to the news. I don't read the newspaper unless it's eccentric information - and the obituaries, of course.

I hope I never get so old I get religious.

They put all this money into these huge films and then no one goes to see them. That sort of shows they're out of touch. Then everyone in town passes on my little movie and it does really well.

My favorite thing about being famous... it's not really as big of a deal as everybody says it is. Being on the road is tough, doing interviews, and all the stuff. It's still pretty tough.

I can't think of anything off the top of my head that seems more important than something designed to raise money to keep something going that keeps IV drug users from dying.

The working class owes all honor and respect to the first men who planted the standard of labor solidarity on the hostile frontier of unorganized industry.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss the abyss will gaze back into you.

My wife can see always how a part affects me personally because she has to live with it.

My dear, did you ever stop to think what a wonderful bunker you would make?

Death in itself is nothing; but we fear to be we know not what, we know not where.

Shine like the day I set cosmic eyes on you, friend, by the light of the sweet squash in my lovely laser broom.

Entertainment is in art like color in pictures.
