Slave Trade

Famous quotes containing the words slave and/or trade:

“The soldier takes pride in saluting his Captain,
The devotee proffers a knee to his Lord,
Some back a mare thrown from a thoroughbred,
Troy backed its Helen, Troy died and adored;
Great nations blossom above,
A slave bows down to a slave.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Teaching your child a trade is better than giving him a thousand ounces of gold.”
