Slave Quotes

Every decent man of our age must be a coward and a slave. That is his normal condition. Of that I am firmly persuaded. He is made and constructed to that very end. And not only at the present time owing to some casual circumstance, but always, at all times, a decent man is bound to be a coward and a slave Picture Quote #1

See how he cowers and sneaks, how vaguely all the day he fears, not being immortal nor divine, but the slave and prisoner of his own opinion of himself, a fame won by his own deeds. Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate Picture Quote #1

If you want to be a slave in life, then continue going around asking others to do for you. They will oblige, but you will find the price is your choices, your freedom, your life itself. They will do for you, and as a result you will be in bondage to them forever, having given your identity away for a paltry price. Then, and only then, you will be a nobody, a slave, because you yourself and nobody else made it so Picture Quote #1

In the first place, I insist that our fathers did not make this nation half slave and half free, or part slave and part free. I insist that they found the institution of slavery existing here. They did not make it so, but they left it so because they knew of no way to get rid of it at that time Picture Quote #1

Man is the only slave. And he is the only animal who enslaves. He has always been a slave in one form or another, and has always held other slaves in bondage under him in one way or another. In our day, he is always some man’s slave for wages, and does that man’s work; and this slave has other slaves under him for minor wages, and they do his work. The higher animals are the only ones who exclusively do their own work and provide their own living Picture Quote #1

I become the stars and the moon. I become the lover and the beloved. I become the victor and the vanquished. I become the master and the slave. I become the singer and the song. I become the knower and the known. I keep on dancing then it is the eternal dance or creation. The creator and creation merge into one wholeness of joy. I keep on dancing... and dancing... and dancing. Until there is only... the dance Picture Quote #1

If you’re lucky enough to have been rewarded in life to the degree that I have, there comes a point at which you have to decide whether to become a slave to your net worth by devoting the rest of your life to increasing it or to let what you’ve accumulated begin to serve you Picture Quote #1

Slave camps under the flag of freedom, massacres justified by philanthropy or the taste of the superhuman, cripple judgment. On the day when crime puts on the apparel of innocence, through a curious reversal peculiar to our age, it is innocence that is called on to justify itself. The purpose of this essay is to accept and study that strange challenge Picture Quote #1

You can do but one of these things; it is folly to attempt anything else, for there cannot exist a slave confederacy and a free confederacy side by side upon this continent Picture Quote #1

A slave has but one master; the ambitious man has as many masters as there are persons whose aid may contribute to the advancement of his fortune Picture Quote #1

By adopting the other trade, we place ourselves by the side of those whose measures tend not only to the improvement of their own subjects, but to the emancipation of the slave everywhere Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t call him a slave. I don’t whip him when he does something wrong. Just when he does something good Picture Quote #1

Can you not see that women could do and would do a hundred times more for the slave, if she were not fettered? Picture Quote #1

All the principal people in the town are concerned in the slave trade, and their chief wealth consists in the number of slaves they possess; therefore there is little chance of the trade being, for many years, totally abolished Picture Quote #1

I think he was explicit that it was a slave labor situation, but I was not alarmed at that point, because there were so many tragedies involved in that war. That was the first time I had any indication that something was sort of strange Picture Quote #1

Art thou less a slave by being loved and favoured by thy master? Thou art indeed well off, slave. Thy master favours thee; he will soon beat thee Picture Quote #1

When the master has come to do everything through the slave, the slave becomes his master, since he cannot live without him Picture Quote #1

Now heaven be thanked, I am out of love again! I have been long a slave, and now am free; Picture Quote #1

My right to think for myself, to refuse to have my ideas assigned to me as though I was an intellectual slave because I’m black Picture Quote #1

Nietzsche that the scientist is at best an instrument, a useful slave: he does not command or decide, he is not a whole man Picture Quote #1

Every man who is not a monster, a mathematician, or a mad philosopher, is the slave of some woman or other Picture Quote #1

Freedom is the name of virtue: Slavery, of vice…. None is a slave whose acts are free Picture Quote #1

I won’t slave for beggar’s pay, likewise gold and jewels, but I would slave to learn the way, to sink your ship of fools Picture Quote #1

How can the rope and the hanged man understand each other or the chain and the slave? Picture Quote #1

The moment the slave resolves that he will no longer be a slave, his fetters fall. He frees himself and shows the way to others. Freedom and slavery are mental states Picture Quote #1

The act of writing for the slave constituted the act of creating a public, historical self, not only the self of the individual author but also the self, as it were, of the race Picture Quote #1
