John Dryden Slave Quotations

Fortune, that with malicious joy, Does man her slave oppress, Proud of her office to destroy, Is seldom pleas'd to bless

If thou dost still retain the same ill habits, the same follies, too, still thou art bound to vice, and still a slave.

Riches cannot rescue from the grave, which claims alike the monarch and the slave.

Either be wholly slaves or wholly free.

To tame the proud, the fetter'd slave to free, These are imperial arts.
