What would you have done, had I been brought before you as a prisoner?
Alp Arslan
Ordinary men died, men of iron were taken prisoner: I only brought back with me men of bronze.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Honor? Maybe they're letting him sleep on silk, but a prisoner is still a prisoner.
Robert Jordan
Contrast Pilate with the prisoner before him, Jesus. Pilate was deeply concerned with position and power. Jesus cared for none of these things. Which was the richer in all that makes a great personality and true success in life? Contrast Nero, the Roman Emperor, and the prisoner named Paul who was beheaded in Nero's reign. Who was the real pauper, Nero or Paul?
Halford E. Luccock
We are African, and we happened to be in America. We're not American. We are people who formerly were Africans who were kidnapped and brought to America. Our forefathers weren't the Pilgrims. We didn't land on Plymouth Rock. The rock was landed on us. We were brought here against our will. We were not brought here to be made citizens. We were not brought here to enjoy the constitutional gifts that they speak so beautifully about today.
