If a slave is unwilling to go with his new master, he is whipped, or locked up in jail, until he consents to go, and promises not to run away during the year.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years.
A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.
If you are living out of a sense of obligation you are slave.
I wouldn't call him a slave. I don't whip him when he does something wrong. Just when he does something good.
The laws recognize no obligation on the part of the slave to labor for or serve his master. If he refuse to labor, the law will not interfere to compel him. The master must do his own flogging, as in the case of an ox or a horse.
If you don't want to be a slave, stop acting like a slave.
He who would be no slave must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves and, under a just God, cannot long retain it.
A slave has but one master; an ambitious man has as many masters as there are people who may be useful in bettering his position.
The art of being a slave is to rule one's master.
Now a slave is not 'held' by any legal contract, obligation, duty, or authority, which the laws will enforce. He is 'held' only by brute force. One person beats another until the latter will obey him, work for him, if he require it, or do nothing if he require it.
