Slave Quotes
-
Whoever has not two-thirds of his time to himself, is a slave.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Diogenes

Albert Camus

Men make their own happiness, and a man may be respected even though only a slave.
G.A. Henty

It is not men that most women worry about when they rise to the defense of the status quo. Their apparent endorsement of male supremacy is, rather, a pathetic striving for self-respect, self-justification, and self-pardon.

Elizabeth Gould Davis
-
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. But it is an error to suppose that every sort of rule is despotic like that of a master over slaves, for there is as great a difference between the rule over freemen and the rule over slaves as there is between slavery by nature and freedom by nature . . .
Aristotle
