Slave State

Famous quotes containing the words slave and/or state:

    Of all insults, the temporary condescension of a master to a slave is the most outrageous and galling. That potentate who most condescends, mark him well; for that potentate, if occasion come, will prove your uttermost tyrant.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    For I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
