Slave Quarters

Famous quotes containing the words slave and/or quarters:

    A slave who deals wisely will rule over a child who acts shamefully, and will share the inheritance as one of the family.
    Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 17:2.

    Before I finally went into winter quarters in November, I used to resort to the north- east side of Walden, which the sun, reflected from the pitch pine woods and the stony shore, made the fireside of the pond; it is so much pleasanter and wholesomer to be warmed by the sun while you can be, than by an artificial fire. I thus warmed myself by the still glowing embers which the summer, like a departed hunter, had left.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
