1626 citations

There was no place in the land where the seeker could not find some small budding sign of pity for the slave. No place in all the land but one - the pulpit. It yielded last; it always does. It fought a strong and stubborn fight, and then did what it always does, joined the procession - at the tail end. Slavery fell. The slavery texts in the Bible remained; the practice changed; that was all. ✨ Mark Twain, Paul Baender (1973). What Is Man? and Other Philosophical Writings, p.74, Univ of California Press
