Servitude Quotations
The revelation of thought takes men out of servitude into freedom.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Justifying conscription to promote the cause of liberty is one of the most bizarre notions ever conceived by man! Forced servitude, with the risk of death and serious injury as a price to live free, makes no sense.
Ron Paul
The real passion of the twentieth century is servitude.
Albert Camus
Thought takes man out of servitude, into freedom.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Man is an intelligence in servitude to his organs.
Aldous Huxley
People who care about each other enjoy doing things for one another. They don't consider it servitude.
Ann Landers
Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Man has no right to kill his brother. It is no excuse that he does so in uniform: he only adds the infamy of servitude to the crime of murder.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
God cannot approve of a system of servitude, in which the master is guilty of assuming absolute power - of assuming God's place and relation towards his fellow-men.
Gerrit Smith
I need say no more, to prove that slavery is entirely unlike the servitude in the patriarchal families.
Gerrit Smith
