“A creditor is worse than a slave-owner; for the master owns only your person, but a creditor owns your dignity, and can command it.”
Victor Hugo
“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
Steve Jobs
“Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you can't do this or that. That's nonsense. Make up your mind, you'll never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything. Go to school, join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.”
Douglas Bader
“The person who is master of their passions is reason's slave.”
Cyril Connolly
“The person ready to believe unlikely and unproved things is readily made a slave of by the crafty”
Voltaire
“As long as a word remains unspoken, you are its master; once you utter it, you are its slave.”
Solomon Ibn Gabirol ben Judah
“Fugitive slaves were rare then, and as a fugitive slave lecturer, I had the advantage of being the first one out.”
Frederick Douglas
