Slave

Slavery can only be abolished by raising the character of the people who compose the nation; and that can be done only by showing them a higher one.

Maria W. Chapman

Slavery is now no where more patiently endured, than in countries once inhabited by the zealots of liberty

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

The blunting effects of slavery upon the slaveholder's moral perceptions are known and conceded the world over; and a privileged class, an aristocracy, is but a band of slaveholders under another name

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

There is no slavery but ignorance.

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899)

Slaves would be tyrants were the chance theirs

Victor Hugo (1802-1885)

No man is free who is a slave to the flesh

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 f.Kr.-65)

Varje tid har sina slavar. Vi har också våra och uppgiften måste alltid vara att ta reda på hur slaveriet ska upphävas.

Suzanne Brügger

Skillnaden mellan en slav och en medborgare är att slaven lyder under sin herre och medborgaren under lagarna. Det kan hända att herren är mycket godhjärtad och lagarna mycket stränga. Det förändrar ingenting. Det hela ligger i avståndet mellan nycker och regler.

Simone Weil (1909-1943)

"We must free the slaves or be ourselves subdued. The slaves were undeniably a element of strength to those who had their service, and we must decide whether that element should be with us or "against us". Emancipation, will strike at the heart of the rebellion."

Said to Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)

In thinking of America, I sometimes find myself admiring her bright blue sky-her grand old woods-her fertile fields-her beautiful rivers-her mighty lakes and star-crowned mountains. But my rapture is soon checked when I remember that all is cursed with the infernal spirit of slave-holding and wrong; When I remember that with the waters of her noblest rivers, the tears of my brethren are borne to the ocean, disregarded and forgotten; That her most fertile fields drink daily of the warm blood of my outraged sisters, I am filled with unutterable loathing.

Frederick Douglass (1817-1895)

“By Labor the North has subdued Nature, changed a parsimonious soil to fertility, built dwellings for almost her whole population, raised the school-house, established the Church, encircled the globe with her ships, and made her books and her papers to be as blades of grass and as leave of the Summer for number. But in the South, labor, a badge of shame, is the father of misery. The slave labors, but with no cheer—it is not the road to respectability, it will honor him with no citizens’ trust, it brings no bread to his family, no grain to his garner, no leisure in after-days, no books or papers to his children. It opens no school-house door, builds no church, rears for him no factory, lays no keel, fills no bank, earns no acres. With sweat and toil and ignorance he consumes his life, to pour the earnings into channels from which he does no drink, into hands that never honor him. But perpetually rob and often torment.”

Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887)

There is no slave out of heaven like a loving woman; and, of all loving women, there is no such slave as a mother

Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887)

Before complaining that you are a slave to another, be sure that you are not a slave to self. Look within;...You will find there, perchance, slavish thoughts, slavish desires, and in your daily life and conduct slavish habits. Conquer these; cease to be a slave to self, and no man will have the power to enslave you.

James Allen (1864-1942)

Another of my wishes is to depend as little as possible on the labor of slaves

James Madison (1751-1836)
