None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

Most of the slaves, who were thus unconditionally freed, returned without any solicitation to their former masters, to serve them, at stated wages; as free men. The work, which they now did, was found to better done than before.

The state of slavery is in its own nature bad.

Free men have arms; slaves do not.

The poor despise labor when performed by slaves.

Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves.

He that is kind is free, though he is a slave; he that is evil is a slave, though he be a king.

I've read stories of slave owners who were very generous. They didn't keep them in shackles, they didn't whip the slaves, they built schools and churches for them, free housing, free food, free everything. It's wrong. No matter how nice you make it look, it's wrong.

The tyrant grinds down his slaves and they don't turn against him, they crush those beneath them.
