 * that is finally right.

nourish a great intellect, a great brain; If I have said anything to the contrary, I hereby
 * retract it.

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.

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. (418)
