Che Guevara
Image
How long would authority ... exist, if not for the willingness of the mass to become soldiers, policemen, jailers, and hangmen.
Emma Goldman
Image
Natural death is independent of all reason and is really an irrational death, in which the pitiable substance of the shell determines how long the kernel is to exist or not in which, accordingly, the stunted, diseased and dull witted jailer is lord, and indicates the moment at which his distinguished prisoner shall die.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Life is the jailer, death the angel sent to draw the unwilling bolts and set us free.
James Russell Lowell
Image
Beware of those who seek to take care of you lest your caretakers become your jailers.

Image
A jailer is as much a prisoner as his prisoner.
Mahatma Gandhi

Maybe you shouldn't be working as a jailer in Guantánamo. Maybe that's why you feel spiritually unhealthy.
Molly Crabapple
Image
Why do people hanker for the home? - security, safety. But in the name of security and safety, they don't make homes, they make prisons - and they are the jailed and they are the jailers, but because they have the keys in their own hands, they think they are free.
Rajneesh
Image
Let fear be a counselor and not a jailer.
Tony Robbins
Image
Tradition is a guide and not a jailer.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
In lieu of those checks and balances central to our legal system, non-citizens face an executive that is now investigator, prosecutor, judge, jury and jailer or executioner. In an Orwellian twist, Bush's order calls this Soviet-style abomination 'a full and fair trial.'
William Safire
Image
Ah, said the jailer, do not always brood over what is impossible, or you will be mad in a fortnight.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
The only people who hate escapism are jailers.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Life is the jailer of the soul in this filthy prison, and its only deliverer is death.
Charles Caleb Colton
Image
When the friendly jailer gave Socrates the poison cup to drink, the jailer said: Try to bear lightly what needs must be. Socrates did. He faced death with a calmness and resignation that touched the hem of divinity.
Dale Carnegie
Image
In prison we are their jailers On trial their judges Persecuted their punishers Dead their conquerors
Eoin MacNeill
Image
Why the jailer does not leave open his prison doors,--why the judge does not dismiss his case,--why the preacher does not dismisshis congregation! It is because they do not obey the hint God gives them, nor accept the pardon which he freely offers to all.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
The most exacting jailer is our own conscience.
Jean Antoine Petit-Senn
Image
I lay there, no longer fighting, since my head was spinning too much. And because I wasn’t going to win anyway. And because I kind of liked the feeling of sensual captivity, at least by this particular jailer.
Karen Chance
Image
No leader or organization can achieve breakout growth until it treats, we've always done it this way as an opportunity to think anew rather than as a reason to stop thinking. Keep in mind, tradition should be a guide, not a jailer.
Michael Josephson
Image
What other dungeon is so dark as one's own heart! What jailer so inexorable as one's self!
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Image
When you consider all the writers who never even had a machine. Who would have given an eyeball for a good typewriter. Any typewriter. All the ones who wrote on a matchbook covers. Paper bags. Toilet paper. Who had their writing destroyed by their jailers. Who persisted beyond all odds.
Sam Shepard
Image
It's about realizing, painfully, you've kept that voice inside yourself, locked away from even yourself. And you step back and see that your jailer has changed faces. You realize you've become your own jailer.
Tori Amos
Image
Captain Hale, alone, without sympathy or support, save that from above, on the near approach of death asked for a clergyman to attend him. It was refused. He then requested a Bible that too was refused by his inhuman jailer.
