More From Frederick Douglass

There are different kinds of truths for different kinds of people. there are truths appropriate for children; truths that are appropriate for students; truths that are appropriate for educated adults; and truths that are appropriate for highly educated adults, and the notion that there should be one set of truths available to everyone is a modern democratic fallacy. it doesn't work.

So multifarious are the different classes of truths, and so multitudinous the truths in each class, that it may be undoubtingly affirmed that no man has yet lived who could so much as name all the different classes and subdivisions of truths, and far less anyone who was acquainted with all the truths belonging to any one class. what wonderful extent, what amazing variety, what collective magnificence! and if such be the number of truths pertaining to this tiny ball of earth, how must it be in the incomprehensible immensity!

Fear is good. like self-doubt, fear is an indicator. fear tells us what we have to do. remember our rule of thumb: the more scared we are of a work or calling, the more sure we can be that we have to do it. resistance is experienced as fear; the degree of fear equates to the strength of resistance. therefore the more fear we feel about a specific enterprise, the more certain we can be that that enterprise is important to us and to the growth of our soul. that's why we feel so much resistance. if it meant nothing to us, there'd be no resistance.

There are certain truths which stand out so openly on the roadsides of life, as it were, that every passer-by may see them. yet, because of their obviousness, the general run of people disregard such truths or at least they do not make them the object of any concious knowledge. people are so bliend to some of the simplest facts in everyday life that they are highly surprised when somebody calls attention to what everybody ought to know.

Behavior runs in deep channels that were cut during early childhood, and it is very difficult to alter them. in order to change a deeply ingrained pattern, you have to build a sturdy dam, dig another canal and reroute the river in the new direction. that effort is rarely successful over the long haul.

None of us are bad people. we float around and we run across each other and we learn about ourselves, and we make mistakes and we do great things. we hurt others, we hurt ourselves, we make others happy and we please ourselves. we can and should forgive ourselves and each other for that.

In our society, more and more, people are running around offended by syllables, even. people are afraid to say anything. it reminds me of the days of the old soviet union, where people would have to go into the bathroom to say what they were really thinking.

Sobriety diminishes, discriminates, and says no; drunkenness expands, unites, and says yes. not through mere perversity do men run after it.
