Slaves Brought

Famous quotes containing the words slaves and/or brought:

    I do not wish, it happens, to be associated with Massachusetts, either in holding slaves or in conquering Mexico. I am a little better than herself in these respects.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The world ‘s a bubble, and the life of man
    Less then a span:
    In his conception wretched, from the womb
    So to the tomb;
    Curst from his cradle, and brought up to years
    With cares and fears.
    Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
