Famous quotes containing the words slave and/or women:
“Do not discourage your children from hoarding, if they have a taste to it; whoever lays up his penny rather than part with it for a cake, at least is not the slave of gross appetite; and shows besides a preference always to be esteemed, of the future to the present moment.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“The generality of virtuous women are like hidden treasures—they are safe only because nobody has sought after them.”
