"At times we see and struggle with our chain, And dream that somewhat we are freed, in vain; The mighty fetters close on us again."

"If there breathe on earth a slave, Are ye truly free and brave? If ye do not feel the chain, When it works a brother's pain, Are ye not base slaves indeed, Slaves unworthy to be freed?"

"True freedom is to share All the chains our brothers wear."

"Familiarize yourselves with the chains of bondage and you are preparing your own limbs to wear them."

"[T]o be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others."

"Slaves lose everything in their chains, even the desire of escaping from them."

"Arguments don't break chains."

"Der Mensch ist frei geschaffen, ist frei Und würd' er in Ketten geboren."

"The dog has been taught to pay attention; as long as he pays attention, he may escape his chain."
