About This Quote

When John Brown was captured for his attack on Harper's Ferry, he was given the choice to save himself or be hanged. Rather than choose death, Brown chose life instead. Theoretically, there is no reason for Brown to have chosen death over life. He could have lived out his life in relative seclusion, but instead chose to continue fighting against the system that destroyed him.

God has given you this quarter of an hour for repentance. Reflect on your mistakes and make the decision to make up for them.
