Moonzajer","tags":["religious","slave","slavery","woman"],"id":11366,"author_id":"M.F.+Moonzajer"},{"text":"Freedom is the possibility of isolation. You are free if you can withdraw from people, not having to seek them out for the sake of money, company, love, glory or curiosity, none of which can thrive in silence and solitude. If you can't live alone, you were born a slave. You may have all the splendours of the mind and the soul, in which case you're a noble slave, or an intelligent servant, but you're not free. And you can't hold this up as your own tragedy, for your birth is a tragedy of Fate alone. Hapless you are, however, if life itself so oppresses you that you're forced to become a slave. Hapless you are if, having been born free, with the capacity to be isolated and self-sufficient, poverty should force you to live with others.","author":"Fernando Pessoa","tags":["freedom","isolation","self-sufficiency","servant","slave","slavery"],"id":11744,"author_id":"Fernando+Pessoa"},{"text":"Power is given only to those you allow to have power over you. No man was born with a master. The only master of all is the Creator, and he created all men to be free. Freedom is a God-given right, not a human-granted gift. No man should have to fight to breathe in good health and peace.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["breathe","collective-power","creator","fight","fighting","free","freedom","freewill","ggod","gift","god","health","human","human-rights","humane","humanity","justice","man","master","oppression","peace","politics","poverty","right","rights","slave","slavery","struggle","suffering","truth","will","willpower","world-peace"],"id":18198,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"},{"text":"He that communicates his secret to another makes himself that other's slave.","author":"Baltasar Gracian","tags":["slave","himself","secret "],"id":19905,"author_id":"Baltasar+Gracian"},{"text":"A slave government is an oligarchy; and one, too, of the most arbitrary and criminal character.","author":"Lysander Spooner","tags":["character","slave","criminal "],"id":24442,"author_id":"Lysander+Spooner"},{"text":"Never become a slave to tradition, learn to foresee new things.","author":"Sunday Adelaja","tags":["learn","slave","tradition"],"id":26362,"author_id":"Sunday+Adelaja"},{"text":"While adoration periodically crept into the relationships between slaves and overseers, their most unsavory interactions provided the inexplicable narrative for a dark period in American history.","author":"Trevor P.
