Famous quotes containing the word slavery:

    Slavery it is that makes slavery; freedom, freedom. The slavery of women happened when the men were slaves of kings.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Could slavery suggest a more complete servility than some of these journals exhibit? Is there any dust which their conduct does not lick, and make fouler still with its slime?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
