Additional quotes by Wendell Phillips

The agitator must stand outside of organizations, with no bread to earn, no candidate to elect, no party to save, no object but truth — to tear a question open and riddle it with light.

Republics exist only on the tenure of being constantly agitated.... There is no republican road to safety but in constant distrust.

Sit not, like the figure on our silver coin, looking ever backward.

Revolutions are not made; they come. A revolution is as natural a growth as an oak. It comes out of the past. Its foundations are laid far back. - Wendell Phillips
