Taught to regard a part of our own Species in the most abject and contemptible Degree below us, we lose that Idea of the dignity of Man which the Hand of Nature had implanted in us, for great and useful purposes.

-- George Mason IV 乔治梅森四世

我们被教导要以比我们更卑贱和可鄙的程度来看待我们自己种族的一部分，为了伟大和有用的目的，我们失去了大自然之手植入我们心中的人的尊严的观念。
