Text Quotes
Wars in old times were made to get slaves. The modern implement of imposing slavery is debt  (Slavery Quotes) Where were the saints to try to change the social order, not just to minister to the slaves, but to do away with slavery?  (Slavery Quotes) In careless ignorance they think it civilization, when in reality it is a portion of their slavery... To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false pretenses, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace  (Slavery Quotes) The Conservative knows that to regard man as part of an undifferentiated mass is to consign him to ultimate slavery  (Slavery Quotes) Looking at the world as a whole, the drift for many decades has been not towards anarchy but towards the reimposition of slavery. We may be heading not for general breakdown but for an epoch as horribly stable as the slave empires of antiquity  (Slavery Quotes) Not only do I pray for it, on the score of human dignity, but I can clearly forsee that nothing but the rooting out of slavery can perpetuate the existence of our union, by consolidating it in a common bond of principle  (Slavery Quotes) When slavery is established in any part of the world, those who are free are by far the most proud and jealous of their freedom  (Slavery Quotes) Where there is a man who does not labor because another is compelled to work for him, there slavery is  (Slavery Quotes) He who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom, truth and duty  (Slavery Quotes) Elimination of illiteracy is as serious an issue to our history as the abolition of slavery  (Slavery Quotes) When we decided to take up arms, it was because the only other choice was to surrender and to submit to slavery  (Slavery Quotes) Every member of the society spies on the rest, and it is his duty to inform against them. All are slaves and equal in their slavery... The great thing about it is equality... Slaves are bound to be equal  (Slavery Quotes) I am confident that we will one day end the scourge of modern slavery, because I believe in those committed to this issue  (Slavery Quotes) As long as the superstition that people should obey unjust laws exists, so long will slavery exist  (Slavery Quotes) It is seldom, that liberty of any kind is lost all at once. Slavery has so frightful an aspect to men accustomed to freedom, that it must steal upon them by degrees, and must disguise itself in a thousand shapes, in order to be received  (Slavery Quotes) Slavery is slavery. The chain of gold is quite as bad as the chain of iron. Is there a way out?  (Slavery Quotes) The choice lies between property on the one hand and slavery, public or private, on the other. There is no third issue  (Slavery Quotes) To take a person out of slavery takes an instant. To take slavery out of a person takes a process  (Slavery Quotes) Pervading nationalism imposes its dominion on man today in many different forms and with an aggressiveness that spares no one. The challenge that is already with us is the temptation to accept as true freedom what in reality is only a new form of slavery  (Slavery Quotes) The right of voting for representatives is the primary right by which other rights are protected. To take away this right is to reduce a man to slavery, for slavery consists in being subject to the will of another, and he that has not a vote in the election of representatives is in this case  (Slavery Quotes) I was broken in body, soul, and spirit. My natural elasticity was crushed, my intellect languished, the disposition to read departed, the cheerful spark that lingered about my eye died; the dark night of slavery closed in upon me; and behold a man transformed into a brute!  (Slavery Quotes) I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another  (Slavery Quotes) The greatest secret of monarchic rule... is to keep men deceived and to cloak in the specious name of religion the fear by which they must be checked, so that they will fight for slavery as they would for salvation, and will think it not shameful, but a most honorable achievement, to give their life and blood that one man may have a ground for boasting  (Slavery Quotes) The only distinction between freedom and slavery consists in this: In the former state a man is governed by the laws to which he has given his consent, either in person or by his representative; in the latter, he is governed by the will of another. In the one case, his life and property are his own; in the other, they depend upon the pleasure of his master. It is easy to discern which of these two states is preferable  (Slavery Quotes) Were not the disadvantages of slavery too obvious to stand in need of it, I might enumerate and describe the tedious train of calamities inseparable from it. I might show that it is fatal to religion and morality; that it tends to debase the mind, and corrupt its noblest springs of action. I might show that it relaxes the sinews of industry, clips the wings of commerce, and introduces misery and indigence in every shape  (Slavery Quotes) Now, I confess myself as belonging to that class in the country who contemplate slavery as a moral, social and political evil, having due regard for its actual existence amongst us and the difficulties of getting rid of it in any satisfactory way, and to all the constitutional obligations which have been thrown about it; but, nevertheless, desire a policy that looks to the prevention of it as a wrong, and looks hopefully to the time when as a wrong it may come to an end  (Slavery Quotes) I do not wish to be misunderstood upon this subject of slavery in this country. I suppose it may long exist, and perhaps the best way for it to come to an end peaceably is for it to exist for a length of time. But I say that the spread and strengthening and perpetuation of it is an entirely different proposition. There we should in every way resist it as a wrong, treating it as a wrong, with the fixed idea that it must and will come to an end  (Slavery Quotes) How can one be compelled to accept slavery? I simply refuse to do the master’s bidding. He may torture me, break my bones to atoms and even kill me. He will then have my dead body, not my obedience. Ultimately, therefore, it is I who am the victor and not he, for he has failed in getting me to do what he wanted done  (Slavery Quotes) If we are made in some degree for others, yet in a greater are we made for ourselves. It were contrary to feeling and indeed ridiculous to suppose that a man had less rights in himself than one of his neighbors, or indeed all of them put together. This would be slavery, and not that liberty which the bill of rights has made inviolable, and for the preservation of which our government has been charged  (Slavery Quotes) The experience of the past lives little doubt that every economic system must sooner or later rely upon some form of the profit motive to stir individuals and groups to productivity. Substitutes like slavery, police supervision, or ideological enthusiasm prove too unproductive, too expensive, or too transient  (Slavery Quotes)
