If corporate leaders and their acolytes are not slaves to some meritorious social purpose, they run the risk of being enslaved by their own ignoble appetites.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Ambition makes more trusty slaves than need.
When you look at a corporation, just like when you look at a slave owner, you want to distinguish between the institution and the individual. So slavery, for example, or other forms of tyranny, are inherently monstrous. The individuals participating in them may be the nicest guys you can imagine.
Some slaves are scoured to their work by whips, others by their restlessness and ambition.
The slaveholders are terrible for promising to give you this or that, or such and such a privilege, if you will do thus and so, and when the time of fulfillment comes, and one claims the promise, they, forsooth, recollect nothing of the kind; and you are, like as not, taunted with being a liar.
There can be no tyrants where there are no slaves.
Most people seek after what they do not possess and are enslaved by the very things they want to acquire.
If you are living out of a sense of obligation you are slave.
Wealth is a tool of freedom, but the pursuit of wealth is the way to slavery.
Slavery is the first step towards civilization. In order to develop it is necessary that things should be much better for some and much worse for others, then those who are better off can develop at the expense of others.
The slave is doomed to worship time and fate and death, because they are greater than anything he finds in himself, and because all his thoughts are of things which they devour.
