Black Beauty
From Project Gutenberg e-text #271 (public domain in the USA).
“My doctrine is this, that if we see cruelty or wrong that we have the power to stop, and do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt.”
— Spoken by a character · Part III
If a thing is right it can be done, and if it is wrong it can be done without; and a good man will find a way.
— Jerry · Part III
