Jupiter Hammon quotes

	" All the time spent idly, is spent wickedly, and is unfaithfulness to our masters. "		Jupiter Hammon

	" As we depend upon our masters, for what we eat and drink and wear, and for all our comfortable things in this world, we cannot be happy, unless we please them. "		Jupiter Hammon

	" Besides all this, if you are idle, and take to bad courses, you will hurt those of your brethren who are slaves, and do all in your power to prevent their being free. "		Jupiter Hammon

	" But this will not do, God will certainly punish you for stealing and for being unfaithful. "		Jupiter Hammon

	" Good servants frequently make good masters. "		Jupiter Hammon

	" He will bring us all, rich and poor, white and black, to his judgment seat. "		Jupiter Hammon

	" Hell is a place made for those who hate God, and are his enemies, and where they will be miserable to all eternity. "		Jupiter Hammon

	" I have had more experience in the world than the most of you, and I have seen a great deal of the vanity, and wickedness of it. "		Jupiter Hammon

	" I have heard some learned and good men say, that the heathen, and all that worshiped false Gods, never spoke lightly or irreverently of their Gods, they never took their names in vain, or jested with those things which they held sacred. "		Jupiter Hammon

	" I suppose I have had more advantages and privileges than most of you, who are slaves have ever known, and I believe more than many white people have enjoyed, for which I desire to bless God, and pray that he may bless those who have given them to me. "		Jupiter Hammon

	" If a servant strives to please his master and studies and takes pains to do it, I believe there are but few masters who would use such a servant cruelly. "		Jupiter Hammon

	" If there was no Bible, it would be no matter whether you could read or not. Reading other books would do you no good. "		Jupiter Hammon

	" If we are found among those who feared his name, and trembled at his word, we shall be called good and faithful servants. "		Jupiter Hammon

	" If we should ever get to Heaven, we shall find nobody to reproach us for being black, or for being slaves. "		Jupiter Hammon

	" If you see most people neglect the Bible, and many that can read never look into it, let it not harden you and make you think lightly of it, and that it is a book of no worth. "		Jupiter Hammon
