“Kings are the slaves of history.”
“There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his.”
“I was a king and a king's heir and now I am a slave.”
“The good man is free, even if he is a slave. The evil man is a slave, even if he is a king.”
“Work like a slave; command like a king; create like a god.”
“He had never dreamed that the country of which she would make him king (king in name but really a slave) was his own country.”
