“Accustom yourself to look first to the dreadful consequences of failure; then fix your eye on the glorious prize which is before you; and when your strength begins to fail, and your spirits are well nigh exhausted, let the animating view rekindle your resolution, and call forth in renewed vigour the fainting energies of your soul.” ~ William Wilberforce 24 August 1759 – 29 July 1833

“You may choose to look the other way but you can never say again that you did not know.” ~ William Wilberforce 24 August 1759 – 29 July 1833

“If to be feelingly alive to the sufferings of my fellow-creatures is to be a fanatic, I am one of the most incurable fanatics ever permitted to be at large.” ~ William Wilberforce 24 August 1759 – 29 July 1833
