Joseph Jacobs Quotes

“I would ten thousand times rather that my children should be the half-starved paupers of Ireland than to be the most pampered among the slaves of America.”

“The dream of my life is not yet realized. I do not sit with my children in a home of my own.”

“We knelt down together, with my child pressed to my heart, and my other arm round the faithful, loving old friend I was about to leave forever.”

“Whatever slavery might do to me, it could not shackle my children.”
