Free slaves sayings, quotes and quotations
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves
~great quotes by slaves by William Pitt
I expose slavery in this country, because to expose it is to kill it. Slavery is one of those monsters of darkness to whom the light of truth is death
~inspirational sayings about Death quotes by Frederick Douglass
Resolve never to be poor. If you don’t spend less than you earn, you’ll always be slave. Poverty robs us of freedom, opportunity, peace of mind, self respect, respect of others. Its make most virtues difficult – some impossible. There are few sorrows money can’t lessen.
~slaves quotes by
If the mind, that rules the body, ever so far forgets itself as to trample on its slave, the slave is never generous enough to forgive the injury, but will rise and smite the oppressor.
~famous quotes about Mind by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.
~slaves sayings by D.H. Lawrence, Classical American Literature, 1922
To limit the press is to insult a nation; to prohibit reading of certain books is to declare the inhabitants to be either fools or slaves.
~great quotes by slaves by Claude-Adrien Helvétius
In an earlier stage of our development most human groups held to a tribal ethic. Members of the tribe were protected, but people of other tribes could be robbed or killed as one pleased. Gradually the circle of protection expanded, but as recently as 150 years ago we did not include blacks. So African human beings could be captured, shipped to America and sold. In Australia white settlers regarded Aborigines as a pest and hunted them down, much as kangaroos are hunted down today. Just as we have progressed beyond the blatantly racist ethic of the era of slavery and colonialism, so we must now progress beyond the speciesist ethic of the era of factory farming, of the use of animals as mere research tools, of whaling, seal hunting, kangaroo slaughter and the destruction of wilderness. We must take the final step in expanding the circle of ethics.

~famous quotes about Feminism by Mary Astell
Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination; do not become the slave of your model.
~slaves sayings by Vincent Van Gogh
Garden writing is often very tame, a real waste when you think how opinionated, inquisitive, irreverent and lascivious gardeners themselves tend to be. Nobody talks much about the muscular limbs, dark, swollen buds, strip-tease trees and unholy beauty that have made us all slaves of the Goddess Flora.
~great quotes by slaves by Ketzel Levine's talkingplants.com
The man who has no inner life is a slave to his surroundings.
~inspirational sayings about Attitude quotes by Henri Frédéric Amiel
Democracy cannot flourish half rich and half poor, any more than it can flourish half free and half slave.
~slaves quotes by Felix G. Rohatyn, New York Times, 3 June 1987
We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form.
~famous quotes about Animal Rights by William Ralph Inge, Outspoken Essays, 1922
History shows that there is nothing so easy to enslave and nothing so hard to emancipate as ignorance, hence it becomes the double enemy of civilization. By its servility it is the prey of tyranny, and by its credulity it is the foe of enlightenment.

Language is the dress of thought.
~great quotes by slaves by Samuel Johnson
Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty - they merely move it from their faces into their hearts.
~good sayings about Age by Martin Buxbaum
Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination.
~slaves quotes by Robert Fulghum
Life is not so bad if you have plenty of luck, a good physique, and not too much imagination.

Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you.

Plagiarists, at least, have the merit of preservation.
~good sayings about Perspective by Benjamin Disraeli
When I die I shall be content to vanish into nothingness.... No show, however good, could conceivably be good forever.... I do not believe in immortality, and have no desire for it.
~slaves quotes by H.L. Mencken
Perhaps, after all, America never has been discovered. I myself would say that it had merely been detected.
~motivational quotes about America sayings by Oscar Wilde
True contentment depends not upon what we have; a tub was large enough for Diogenes, but a world was too little for Alexander.
