Famous quotes containing the words slave and/or trade:

“Tyranny produces two results, exactly opposite in character, and which are symbolized in those two great types of the slave in classical times—Epictetus and Spartacus. The one is hatred with its evil train, the other meekness with its Christian graces.”

A quality of loss
Affecting our content,
As trade had suddenly encroached
Upon a sacrament.”
