If There is No Struggle

"If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation ...want crops without plowing up the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters ... Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will."

-— Frederick Douglas (1817-1895)
American statesman and abolitionist
