Men in great place are thrice servants; servants of the sovereign state, servants of fame, and servants of business; so as they have no freedom, neither in their persons, nor in their actions, nor in their times.

There is nothing grand or noble in having the use of a slave, in so far as he is a slave; or in issuing commands about necessary things.
