Seward Christians, like slaves and soldiers, ask no questions. Jerry Falwell Corrupted freemen are the worst of slaves. David Garrick Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves. Henry David Thoreau Either be wholly slaves or wholly free. John Dryden Every country we conquer feeds us. And these are just a few of the good things we'll have when this war is over. Slaves working for us everywhere while we sit back with a fork in our hands and a whip on our knees. Curt Siodmak |
