Had I the ability, and could reach the nation's ear, I would, today, pour out a fiery stream of biting ridicule, blasting reproach, withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke, Douglass assured his listeners, For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. Other eloquent and dramatic orations include Self-Made Men, first delivered in 1859, which defines the principles behind individual success, and The Church and Prejudice, delivered at the Plymouth County Anti-Slavery Society in 1841.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Former slave Frederick Douglass (1818-95) was an author, abolitionist, political speaker, philosopher, and pivotal figure in the decades of struggle leading up to the Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation.James Daley is the editor of several Dover Thrift Editions, including <i>The World's Greatest Short Stories, Great Speeches by African Americans, </i> and <i>Great Speeches by African American Women.</i>
