A strong human spirit with control over appetites of the flesh is master over emotions and passions and not a slave to them. That kind of freedom is as vital to the spirit as oxygen is to the body! Freedom from self-slavery is true liberation! ~ Russell M. Nelson
Self Slavery quotes by Russell M. Nelson
No knowledge about self is self-slavery! ~ Israelmore Ayivor
Self Slavery quotes by Israelmore Ayivor
When we acknowledge the kingdom of the self, we will no longer accept slavery either for ourselves or for others, no matter how it is disguised. ~ Gerry Spence
Self Slavery quotes by Gerry Spence
A slave that acknowledges its enslavement is halfway to its liberation. ~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Self Slavery quotes by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
There's no dishonor in being forced by a superior power into slavery, but it is an eternal disgrace to voluntarily surrender one's liberty for a filthy bowl of oatmeal and promise of security by liars. ~ Charley Reese
Self Slavery quotes by Charley Reese
Life is not given to us that we might live idly without work. No, our life is a struggle and a journey. Goof should struggle with evil; truth should struggle with falsehood; freedom should struggle with slavery; love should struggle with hatred. Life is movement, a walk along the way of life to the fulfillment of those ideas which illuminate us, both in our intellect and in our hearts, with divine light. ~ Giuseppe Mazzini
Self Slavery quotes by Giuseppe Mazzini
Men are not only prone to forget benefits; they even hate those who have obliged them, and cease to hate those who have injured them. The necessity of revenging an injury, or of recompensing a benefit seems a slavery to which they are unwilling to submit. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Self Slavery quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
I don't regret my painful times, i bare my scars as if they were medals. I know that freedom has a high price, as high as that of slavery; the only difference is that you pay with pleasure and a smile, even when that that smile dimmed by tears ~ Paulo Coelho
Self Slavery quotes by Paulo Coelho
Ending the slave trade was contrary to British economic interests. For all its limitations and hypocrisies - British slavery itself, of course, still continued to exist - I still think it was a great moment in human history. ~ Henry Louis Gates
Self Slavery quotes by Henry Louis Gates
In the same way that slavery was a moral challenge for the 19th century and totalitarianism was a challenge for the 20th century, the challenge that women and girls face around the world is the moral challenge of our time. ~ Sheryl WuDunn
Self Slavery quotes by Sheryl WuDunn
I used to think if I could be free I should be the happiest woman," a young Mississippi woman recalled. "But when my master come to me, and says 'Lizzie, you is free!' it seems like I was in a kind of daze. And when I would wake up in the morning I would think to myself, Is I free? Hasn't I got to get up before daylight and go into the field and work? ~ Leon F. Litwack
Self Slavery quotes by Leon F. Litwack
The fight against child slavery is the fight against traditional mindset, policy deficit, and lack of accountability and urgency for children across the globe. ~ Kailash Satyarthi
Self Slavery quotes by Kailash Satyarthi
Slavery is such an atrocious debasement of human nature, that its very extirpation, if not performed with solicitous care, may sometimes open a source of serious evils. The unhappy man who has been treated as a brute animal, too frequently sinks beneath the common standard of the human species. The galling chains, that bind his body, do also fetter his intellectual faculties, and impair the social affections of his heart ... To instruct, to advise, to qualify those, who have been restored to freedom, for the exercise and enjoyment of civil liberty ... and to procure for their children an education calculated for their future situation in life; these are the great outlines of the annexed plan, which we have adopted.
[For the Pennsylvania Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery, 1789] ~ Benjamin Franklin
Self Slavery quotes by Benjamin Franklin
You got to remember that slavery's very complex. It has a lot of levels to it. ~ Paul Mooney
Self Slavery quotes by Paul Mooney
This was done to you by men and women whose only desire was to enslave you; they have succeeded so well that you are proud of your slavery. ~ Orson Scott Card
Self Slavery quotes by Orson Scott Card
The time has come for America to hear the truth about this tragic war. In international conflicts, the truth is hard to come by because most nations are deceived about themselves. Rationalizations and the incessant search for scapegoats are the psychological cataracts that blind us to our sins. But the day has passed for superficial patriotism. He who lives with untruth lives in spiritual slavery. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Self Slavery quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
I judged them against the country I knew, which had acquired the land through murder and tamed it under slavery, ~ Ta-Nehisi Coates
Self Slavery quotes by Ta-Nehisi Coates
An economy that depends on slavery needs to promote images of slaves that "justify" the institution of slavery. The contemporary economy depends right now on the representation of women within the beauty myth. Economist John Kenneth
Galbraith offers an economic explanation for "the persistence of the view of homemaking as a 'higher calling'": the concept of women as naturally trapped within the Feminine Mystique, he feels, "has been forced on us by popular sociology, by magazines, and by fiction to disguise the fact that woman in her role of consumer has been essential to the development of our industrial society…. Behavior that is essential for economic reasons is transformed into a social virtue. ~ Naomi Wolf
Self Slavery quotes by Naomi Wolf
When it comes to animal agriculture, there is conventional, which is really hideous, and "compassionate" or "certified humane" or whatever, which *may* be *slightly* less hideous. But it's all torture. It's all wrong. These "happy" gimmicks are just designed to make the public feel better about exploiting animals. Don't buy the propaganda of "happy" exploitation. Go vegan and promote veganism. ~ Gary L. Francione
Self Slavery quotes by Gary L. Francione
A hostage?"
"They used the word slave, but isnt' it the same thing? Isn't that what you'd call it if someone stole me and put me in a house and wouldn't let me leave? Isn't it? ~ Tiffany Reisz
Self Slavery quotes by Tiffany Reisz
The true story is that black people need to tell their history. Very few films are made by black people about slavery. That itself is a crime because slavery is a very important historical event that has held our people hostage. Forget white people's role in it. In the end what's important is black people remain and live with the scars and psychological issues. ~ Haile Gerima
Self Slavery quotes by Haile Gerima
Let me repeat, if someone has the means to pay you and simply does not, they do not deserve your business. In fact, it is no longer a business transaction. I believe the term would be slavery. God clearly states that the deceptive actions of these people are a sin. Leviticus, 19:13 says, "You must not cheat your neighbor or rob him. You must not keep a hired worker's salary all night until morning. ~ V.L. Thompson
Self Slavery quotes by V.L. Thompson
If a parent wants to talk about slavery or wants to talk about countries where bombs go off, they need to have a way - a setting - to have that conversation. And there are wonderful books out there for those kinds of conversations. ~ Jane Yolen
Self Slavery quotes by Jane Yolen
Despite widespread attemps to equate human captives with domestic animals and even to market them and price them the same way < ... > slaves were fortunately never held long enough in a distinctive group to undergo genetic neoteny < ... >. Yet a kind of neoteny was clearly the goal of many slaveholders, even if they lacked a scientific understanding of how domestication changed the nature and behavior of animals. Aristotle's ideal of the "natural slave" was very close to what a human being would be like if subjected to a genetic change similar to that of domesticated plants and animals. ~ David Brion Davis
Self Slavery quotes by David Brion Davis
I went to Thailand and built a village for 27 rescued children and this is where my passion to help prevent modern day slavery came from. ~ David Batstone
Self Slavery quotes by David Batstone
As bell hooks wrote in a 1998 essay, "Naked Without Shame," about black women's bodies and politics, "Marked by shame, projected as inherent and therefore precluding any possibility of innocence, the black female body was beyond redemption." She points out that since the time of U.S. slavery, men have benefited from positioning black women as naturally promiscuous because it absolves them of guilt when they sexually assault and rape women of color. "[I]t was impossible to ruin that which was received as inherently unworthy, tainted, and soiled," hooks wrote.
Women of color, low-income women, immigrant women- these are the women who are not seen as worthy of being placed on a pedestal. It's only our perfect virgins who are valuable, worthy of discourse and worship. ~ Jessica Valenti
Self Slavery quotes by Jessica Valenti
I stopped loving my father a long time ago. What remained was the slavery to a pattern. ~ Anais Nin
Self Slavery quotes by Anais Nin
Slavery isn't African history. It Interrupted African history ~ Mutabaruka
Self Slavery quotes by Mutabaruka
The man who is not permitted to own is owned. ~ George Santayana
Self Slavery quotes by George Santayana
Man is either governed by his own laws - freedom - or the laws of another - slavery. Are you willing to become slaves? Will you give up your freedom, your life and your property without a single struggle? No man has a right to rule over his fellow creatures. ~ Alexander Hamilton
Self Slavery quotes by Alexander Hamilton
Denial of climate change and degradation of environment for the purpose of economic prosperity is humiliation and slavery of the nature. ~ M.F. Moonzajer
Self Slavery quotes by M.F. Moonzajer
Isaac's son Jacob has a daughter, Dinah. Dinah is kidnapped and raped - apparently a customary form of courtship at the time, since the rapist's family then offers to purchase her from her own family as a wife for the rapist. Dinah's brothers explain that an important moral principle stands in the way of this transaction: the rapist is uncircumcised. So they make a counteroffer: if all the men in the rapist's hometown cut off their foreskins, Dinah will be theirs. While the men are incapacitated with bleeding penises, the brothers invade the city, plunder and destroy it, massacre the men, and carry off the women and children. When Jacob worries that neighboring tribes may attack them in revenge, his sons explain that it was worth the risk: "Should our sister be treated like a whore?" 13 Soon afterward they reiterate their commitment to family values by selling their brother Joseph into slavery. ~ Steven Pinker
Self Slavery quotes by Steven Pinker
Let your observations and comparisons produce in your mind an abhorrence of domination and power, the parent of slavery, ignorance, and barbarism, which places man upon a level with his fellow tenants of the woods. ~ Abigail Adams
Self Slavery quotes by Abigail Adams
E have men sold to build churches, women sold to support the gospel, and babes sold to purchase Bibles for the poor heathen, all for the glory of God and the good of souls. The slave auctioneer's bell and the church-going bell chime in with each other, and the bitter cries of the heart-broken slave are drowned in the religious shouts of his pious master. Revivals of religion and revivals in the slave trade go hand in hand. ~ Frederick Douglass
Self Slavery quotes by Frederick Douglass
Sex slavery in all forms is an assault on human life. ~ Connilyn Cossette
Self Slavery quotes by Connilyn Cossette
Power may justly be compared to a great river which, while kept within its due bounds is both beautiful and useful; but when it overflows its banks, it is then too impetuous to be stemmed, it bears down on all before it and brings destruction and desolation wherever it comes. If this then is the nature of power, let us at least do our duty and like wise men use our utmost care to support liberty, the only bulwark against lawless power...and I make no doubt but your upright conduct, this day will not only entitle you to the love and esteem of your fellow-citizens, but every man, who prefers freedom to a life of slavery, will bless and honor you, as men who have baffled the attempt of tyranny; and, by an impartial verdict, have laid a notable foundation for securing to ourselves, our posterity, and our neighbors, that to which nature and the laws of our country have given us a right--the liberty--both of exposing and opposing arbitrary power in these parts of the world at least, by speaking and writing the truth." - - Andrew Hamilton ~ Andrew Hamilton
Self Slavery quotes by Andrew Hamilton
Some people tell me that we professional players are soccer slaves. Well, if this is slavery, give me a life sentence. ~ Bobby Charlton
Self Slavery quotes by Bobby Charlton
It is amazing to a great many of us how Congress ignores the Constitution. For example, the 13th Amendment clearly states: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction." Currently, the average working person pays over forty percent of his earnings to the Government (City, State and National) and IT IS NOT VOLUNTARY! Did the people vote for these taxes? NO! They were imposed by a Communist dominated Congress. Therefore, Congress has declared that each and every wage earner is a SLAVE of the Government and the Government has a right to steal their money. WHY? ~ Robert Gates Sr.
Self Slavery quotes by Robert Gates Sr.
There are a million boys growing up in the United States who have never seen a saloon, and who will never know the handicap of liquor and this excellent condition will go on spreading over the country when the wet press and the paid propogandists of booze are forgotten. The abolition of the commercialized liquor trade in this country is as final as the abolition of slavery. ~ Henry Ford
Self Slavery quotes by Henry Ford
You know I dislike slavery; and you fully admit the abstract wrong of it. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Self Slavery quotes by Abraham Lincoln
When I want to find the vanguard of the people I look to the uneasy dreams of an aristocracy and find what they dread most. ~ Wendell Phillips
Self Slavery quotes by Wendell Phillips
There was no slavery in the free city of Pentos. Nonetheless, they were slaves. ~ George R R Martin
Self Slavery quotes by George R R Martin
Never forget that we were enslaved in this country longer than we have been free. Never forget that for 250 years black people were born into chains-whole generations followed by more generations who knew nothing but chains. ~ Ta-Nehisi Coates
Self Slavery quotes by Ta-Nehisi Coates
Captivity is the greatest of all evils that can befall one. ~ Miguel De Cervantes
Self Slavery quotes by Miguel De Cervantes
The failure in reading -the omnipresent verbalism- of those who have not been trained in the arts of grammar and logic shows how lack of such discipline results in slavery to words rather than mastery of them. ~ Mortimer J. Adler
Self Slavery quotes by Mortimer J. Adler
My brother has two children now, so I've been playing aunt Renee. They're two and four. It's chaos. Moms out there, kudos to you. The cool thing about being an aunt is like, I can leave. No offense to my big brother Drew, but that is slavery. I dare you to take a shower. You can't do anything unless they let you. It's a dictatorship. They're little dictators in their crib. ~ Renee Zellweger
Self Slavery quotes by Renee Zellweger
By the mid-1770s, the system of bond labor had been thoroughly transformed into a racial caste system predicated on slavery. The degraded status of Africans was justified on the ground that Negros, like the Indians, were an uncivilized lesser race, perhaps even more lacking in intelligence and laudable human qualities than the red-skinned natives. The notion of white supremacy rationalized the enslavement of Africans, even as whites endeavored to form a new nation based on the ideals of equality, liberty, and justice for all. Before democracy, chattel slavery in America was born. ~ Michelle Alexander
Self Slavery quotes by Michelle Alexander
I do not wish to be misunderstood upon this subject of slavery in this country. I suppose it may long exist, and perhaps the best way for it to come to an end peaceably is for it to exist for a length of time. But I say that the spread and strengthening and perpetuation of it is an entirely different proposition. There we should in every way resist it as a wrong, treating it as a wrong, with the fixed idea that it must and will come to an end. ~ Abraham Lincoln
