AUTOGRAPHS FOR FREEDOM.
BE UP AND DOING.
Can nothing be done for Freedom? Yes, much can be done. Everything can
be done. Slavery can be confined within its present bounds. It can be
meliorated. It can be, and it must be abolished. The task is as simple
as its performance would be beneficent and as its rewards would be
glorious. It requires only that we follow this plain rule of conduct and
course of activity, namely, to do, everywhere, and on every occasion
what we can, and not to neglect nor refuse to do what we can at any
time, because at that precise time and on that particular occasion we
cannot do more. Circumstances define possibilities. When we have done
our best to shape them and to make them propitious, we may rest
satisfied that superior wisdom has, nevertheless, controlled them and
us, and that it will be satisfied with us if we do all the good that
shall then be found possible.
