1. Harriet Beecher Stowe:

   So long as the law considers all these human beings, with beating hearts and living affections, only as so many things belonging to the master -- so long as the failure, or misfortune, or imprudence, or death of the kindest owner, may cause them any day to exchange a life of kind protection and indulgence for one of hopeless misery and toil -- so long it is impossible to make anything beautiful or desirable in the best-regulated administration of slavery.

2. Guicciardini:

   Plans that are wise and prudent in themselves are rendered vain when the execution of them is carried on negligently and with imprudence.
