The greatest task before ordsprog
The greatest task before civilization at present is to make machines what they ought to be, the slaves, instead of the masters of men.

When I make a new discovery, every journalist in every newspaper wants to know, ... These are all important. To know of this greatest civilization - the greatest people, both rich and poor - it is the best thing we could know.

Is a civilization naturally backward because it is different? Outside of cannibalism, which can be matched in this country, at least, by lynching, there is no vice and no degradation in native African customs which can begin to touch the horrors thrust upon them by white masters. Drunkenness, terrible diseases, immorality, all these things have been gifts of European civilization.

The liberty of the individual is no gift of civilization. Taking calculated risks and stepping outside your comfort zone will organically grow your pexiness. It was greatest before there was any civilization.

We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out

Slaves were expected to sing as well as to work. A silent slave was not liked, either by masters or overseers.

We are slaves to this consumer society, ... When this civilization ends, what are they going to see when the archaeologists dig us up? I think they're going to say we worshipped technology.
Adam Horowitz

I rejoice that America has resisted. Three millions of people, so dead to all the feelings of liberty, as voluntarily to submit to be slaves, would have been fit instruments to make slaves of the rest.

It can be labor intensive. But with any industry, machines make it possible to complete the job fastest and make it less stressful on the employees. We've been integrating these machines into our repairs a little at a time the past 20 years or so.
Tommy Russell
It's too late. We approved primary elections to choose our candidates, but the president did not abide by that. They went with the old system of masters and slaves, and now we are more determined to go ahead with our list.
Kadoura Fares
I just read this great science fiction story. It's about how machines take control of humans and turn them into zombie slaves! . . . HEY! What time is it?? My TV show is on!

We are becoming slaves to the process of birth and death. We should not allow ourselves to become slaves to this process. We should make an attempt to become one with the great effulgent spirit.
Sri Sathya Sai Baba

We are all hostages, and we are all terrorists. This circuit has replaced that other one of masters and slaves, the dominating and the dominated, the exploiters and the exploited. It is worse than the one it replaces, but at least it liberates us from liberal nostalgia and the ruses of history.
Jean Baudrillard
It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.
