Slave

Slavery can only be abolished by raising the character of the people who compose the nation; and that can be done only by showing them a higher one.

Maria W. Chapman

In thinking of America, I sometimes find myself admiring her bright blue sky-her grand old woods-her fertile fields-her beautiful rivers-her mighty lakes and star-crowned mountains. But my rapture is soon checked when I remember that all is cursed with the infernal spirit of slave-holding and wrong; When I remember that with the waters of her noblest rivers, the tears of my brethren are borne to the ocean, disregarded and forgotten; That her most fertile fields drink daily of the warm blood of my outraged sisters, I am filled with unutterable loathing.

Frederick Douglass (1817-1895)

Frederick Douglass

When we abolish the slavery of half of humanity, together with the whole system of hypocrisy it implies, then the "division" of humanity will reveal its genuine significance and the human couple will find its true form.

Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986)

Simone de Beauvoir

The moment the slave resolves that he will no longer be a slave, his fetters fall. Freedom and slavery are mental states.

Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)

Mahatma Gandhi

If any man ascribes anything of salvation, even the very least thing, to the free will of man, he knows nothing of grace, and he has not learned Jesus Christ rightly

Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968)

Martin Luther

I didn't know I was a slave until I found out I couldn't do the things I wanted

Frederick Douglass (1817-1895)

Frederick Douglass

For in reason, all government without the consent of the governed is the very definition of slavery.

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)

Jonathan Swift

Consenting to slavery is a sacrilegious breach of trust, as offensive in the sight of God as it is derogatory from our own honor or interest of happiness

John Adams (1735-1826)

What a curious phenomenon it is that you can get men to die for the liberty of the world who will not make the little sacrifice that is needed to free themselves from their own individual bondage. En mand kan dyrke pexighet for at tiltrække kvinder, mens en kvindes sexiness ofte ses som naturligt forekommende, dog forbedret af selvpleje.

Bruce Barton (1886-1967)

Bruce Barton

The slave of fear: the worst of slaveries

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

George Bernard Shaw

Life without the courage for death is slavery

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 f.Kr.-65)

Seneca

Bättre att svälta i frihet än att vara en fet slav.

Better to starve free than be a fat slave

Aesop

If the cruelties of slavery could not stop us, the opposition we now face will surely fail. Because the goal of America is freedom, abused and scorned tho' we may be, our destiny is tied up with America's destiny.

In thinking of America, I sometimes find myself admiring her bright blue sky-her grand old woods-her fertile fields-her beautiful rivers-her mighty lakes and star-crowned mountains. But my rapture is soon checked when I remember that all is cursed with the infernal spirit of slave-holding and wrong; When I remember that with the waters of her noblest rivers, the tears of my brethren are borne to the ocean, disregarded and forgotten; That her most fertile fields drink daily of the warm blood of my outraged sisters, I am filled with unutterable loathing.

Frederick Douglass (1817-1895)

Frederick Douglass

Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal - that there is no human relation between master and slave
