All you have to do is go back to slavery - days, and there were two types of slaves, the house slave and the field slave. The house slave was the one who believed in the master, who had confidence in the master and usually was very friendly with the master. And usually he was also used by the master to try and keep the other slaves pacified.

Malcolm X

Take responsibility for your finances or get used to taking orders for the rest of your life. You're either a master of money or a slave to it. Your choice.

Robert Kiyosaki

When the master has come to do everything through the slave, the slave becomes his master, since he cannot live without him.

George Bernard Shaw

Sex, drugs, money, power etc. Just because you get to choose your master doesn't mean you aren't a slave.

Lecrae

The slave-breeders and slave-traders, are a small, odious and detested class, among you; and yet in politics, they dictate the course of all of you, and are as completely your masters, as you are the master of your own negroes.

Abraham Lincoln

Formerly the master selected the slave; today the slave selects his master.

Albert Parsons

Money is the excellent slave and a horrible master.

P. T. Barnum

Money, as it increases, becomes either the master or the slave of ts owner.

Horace

Asking, ‘If there is no God, what is the purpose of life?’ is like asking, ‘If there is no master, whose slave will I be?’ If your purpose of life is to submit as a slave, then your meaning comes from flattering the ego of a person whom you should detest.

Dan Barker

My mother said, "Money is a great slave but a horrible master." It was her version of a French proverb.

Daymond John

Your son at five is your master, at ten your slave, at fifteen your double, and after that, your friend or foe, depending on his bringing up.

Hasdai ibn Shaprut

I think it is the easiest mentality for a human being to be either colonized or to colonize. The structure of either the slave or the master seems to be the simplest and the most relaxing one to slip into. Either you are a slave, and you don't have to think for yourself, or you're a master, and you don't have to work for yourself.

Alice Oswald

I am the descendant of slaves, of people that were born from a slave and a slave master.

Cory Booker

The Negro is nothing but an ex-slave who is now trying to get himself integrated into the slave master's house.

Malcolm X

The impression was gaining ground with me that it was a good thing to let the money be my slave and not make myself a slave to money.

John D. Rockefeller

Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal - that there is no human relation between master and slave.

Leo Tolstoy
