If there is no struggle, there is no progress- Fredenck Douglass Quote
On August 3, 1857, Frederick Douglass delivered a “West India Emancipation” speech at Canandaigua, New York, on the twenty-third anniversary of the event. Most of the address was a history of British efforts toward emancipation as well as a reminder of the crucial role of the West Indian slaves in that own freedom struggle. However shortly after he began Douglass sounded a foretelling of the coming Civil War when he uttered two paragraphs that became the most quoted sentences of all of his public orations. They began with the words, “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” The entire speech appears below.
"If there is no struggle, there is no progress"
~ Fredenck Douglass ~
Nobody ever needs to struggle, be in control of your own destiny no matter what that might be and don't accept ANY modern excuse.. at the end of the day (or lifetime...) we are all the same composition that the universe has depicted upon us, you decide.
