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)

    And there is no trade or employment but the young man following it may become a hero.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
