Douglass talked about the importance of education, individual effort and responsibility. He also explained how hard work, education, and persistence,... is the great equalizer between the rich and the poor.
During his speech Douglass said, "The lesson taught by human experience is simply this: The man who will get up, will get help and will be helped up. But the man who will not get up, will be allowed to stay down."
"This rule may appear somewhat harsh...but I know of no other rule which can be substituted for it without bringing social chaos."
