Slave

Famous quotes containing the word slave:

“No slave is a slave to the same lengths, and in so full a sense of the word, as a wife is.”
—John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)

“While I am in favor of the Government promptly enforcing the laws for the present, defending the forts and collecting the revenue, I am not in favor of a war policy with a view to the conquest of any of the slave States; except such as are needed to give us a good boundary. If Maryland attempts to go off, suppress her in order to save the Potomac and the District of Columbia. Cut a piece off of western Virginia and keep Missouri and all the Territories.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“... where there is one slave there are always two—he who wears the chain and he who rivets it.”
—Jeanne De Hericourt (1809–1875)
