Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and, under a just God cannot retain it.

Slavery does not merely mean a legalised form of subjection. It means a state of society in which some men are forced to accept from others the purposes which control their conduct.

Englishmen never will be slaves they are free to do whatever the Government and public opinion allow them to do.

As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.
