Would any one believe that I am master of slaves by my own purchase? I am drawn along by the general inconvenience of living without them.

If you don't want to be a slave, stop acting like a slave.

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.

If you are living out of a sense of obligation you are slave.

See, it's no in between: you're either free or you're a slave.

I've always been a slave to my heart.

Slavery is a weed that grows on every soil.

I wouldn't call him a slave. I don't whip him when he does something wrong. Just when he does something good.
