Man Tt Races

Famous quotes containing the words man and/or races:

“Let a man take time enough for the most trivial deed, though it be but the paring of his nails.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I am obliged to confess that I do not regard the abolition of slavery as a means of warding off the struggle of the two races in the Southern states. The Negroes may long remain slaves without complaining; but if they are once raised to the level of freemen, they will soon revolt at being deprived of almost all their civil rights; and as they cannot become the equals of the whites, they will speedily show themselves as enemies.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
