奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导
In the first issue of his paper, Garrison urged an immediate emancipation, and called down upon his head the wrath of the entire community. He was arrested and sent to jail. John G. Whittier, a noble friend in the North, was so touched at the news that, being too poor to furnish the money himself, he wrote to Henry Clay, begging him to release Garrison by paying the fine. After forty-nine days of imprisonment he was set free. Wendell Phillips said of him, "He was imprisoned for his opinion when he was twenty-four. He had confronted a nation in the bloom of his youth."

白话
加里森在报纸创刊号上就呼吁立即废除奴隶制,结果惹怒整个社区,被逮捕入狱。北方一位高尚的朋友惠蒂尔得知后非常感动,但自己没钱,便写信给亨利·克莱,恳求他代付罚款救出加里森。关了四十九天后,加里森获释。温德尔·菲利普斯评价他:“二十四岁因观点入狱,青春正盛时已与整个国家对抗。”这说明,坚持正义可能招致反对甚至惩罚,但真正的勇气在于不因压力而放弃。今天我们可以问自己:面对不公,是否愿意为正确的事承担代价?
