Men in great places are thrice servants,--servants of the sovereign or state, servants of fame, and servants of business; so that they have no freedom, neither in their persons, nor in their actions, nor in their times. - Francis Bacon All are born to observe laws; few are born to establish them. - Thomas Carlyle To use the hands in making quicklime into mortar is better than to cross them on the breast in attendance on a prince. - Moslih Eddin (Muslih-un-Din) Saadi (Sadi) Servitude seizes on few, but many seize on her. - Seneca (Lucius Annaeus Seneca) I have been formerly so silly as to hope that every servant I had might be made a friend; I am now convinced that the nature of servitude generally bears a contrary tendency. People's characters are to be chiefly collected from their education and place in life; birth itself does but little. - William Shenstone We become willing servants to the good by the bonds their virtues lay upon us. - Sir Philip Sidney (Sydney) It is fit and necessary that some persons in the world should be in love with a splendid servitude. - Bishop Robert South Servitude is inherent; we are all slaves to duty or to force. - Marguerite de Valois Slavery is as ancient as war, and war as human nature. - Voltaire (Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire)
