Madison Sold

Famous quotes containing the words madison and/or sold:

    As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be formed.
    —James Madison (1751–1836)

    Forced from home, and all its pleasures,
    Afric’s coast I left forlorn;
    To increase a stranger’s treasures,
    O’er the raging billows borne.
    Men from England bought and sold me,
    Paid my price in paltry gold;
    But, though theirs they have enroll’d me,
    Minds are never to be sold.
    William Cowper (1731–1800)
