“The good man is free, even if he is a slave. The evil man is a slave, even if he is a king.”
“Unless a man becomes the enemy of an evil, he will not even become its slave but rather its champion.”
“Despair is a free man—hope is a slave.”
“Every man having been born free and master of himself, no one else may under any pretext whatever subject him without his consent. To assert that the son of a slave is born a slave is to assert that he is not born a man.”
“Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains. Those who think themselves the masters of others are indeed greater slaves than they.”
“Hindustan had become free. Pakistan had become independent soon after its inception but man was still slave in both these countries -- slave of prejudice … slave of religious fanaticism … slave of barbarity and inhumanity.”
