Joseph Jacobs Quotes

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

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

“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.”

“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.”
