"la premiere raison de la servitude volontaire, c'est la coustume: comme des plus braues courtaus, qui au commencement mordent le frein & puis s'en iouent, & là où n’a guerres ruoient contre la selle, ils se parent maintenant dans les harnois & tous fiers se gorgiasent soubs la barde."

"Il y a trois sortes de tirans : les uns ont le roiaume par election du peuple, les autres par la force des armes, les autres par succession de leur race. Ceus qui les ont acquis par le droit de la guerre, ils s'y portent ainsi qu’on connoit bien qu’ils sont (comme l’on dit) en terre de conqueste. Ceus la qui naissent rois ne font pas communement gueres meilleurs, ains estans nes & nourris dans le sein de la tirannie, tirent auec le lait la nature du tiran, & font estat des peuples qui sont soubs eus comme de leurs serfs hereditaires; &, selon la complexion à laquelle ils sont plus enclins, auares ou prodigues, tels qu’ils sont, ils sont du royaume comme de leur héritage. Celui à qui le peuple a donné l’estat .deuroit estre, ce me semble,' plus supportable, & le seroit, comme ie croy, n’estoit que deslors qu’il fe voit esleué par dessus les autres, Hatté par ie ne fçay quoy qu’on appelle la grandeur, il delibere de n’en bouger point : communement celui là fait estat de rendre à fes enfans la puissance que le peuple lui a baillé; & deslors que ceus là ont pris ceste opinion, c’est chose estrange de combien ils passent, en toutes sortes de vices & mesmes en la cruauté, les autres tirans, .ne voians autre moien pour asseurer la nouuelle tirannie que d’estreindre si fort la seruitude & estranger tant leurs subiects de la liberté, qu’ancore que la memoire en soit fresche, ils la leur puissent faire perdre."

Discourse on Voluntary Servitude (1548)
Contexto: Poor, wretched, and stupid peoples, nations determined on your own misfortune and blind to your own good! You let yourselves be deprived before your own eyes of the best part of your revenues; your fields are plundered, your homes robbed, your family heirlooms taken away. You live in such a way that you cannot claim a single thing as your own; and it would seem that you consider yourselves lucky to be loaned your property, your families, and your very lives. All this havoc, this misfortune, this ruin, descends upon you not from alien foes, but from the one enemy whom you yourselves render as powerful as he is, for whom you go bravely to war, for whose greatness you do not refuse to offer your own bodies unto death. He who thus domineers over you has only two eyes, only two hands, only one body, no more than is possessed by the least man among the infinite numbers dwelling in your cities; he has indeed nothing more than the power that you confer upon him to destroy you. Where has he acquired enough eyes to spy upon you, if you do not provide them yourselves? How can he have so many arms to beat you with, if he does not borrow them from you? The feet that trample down your cities, where does he get them if they are not your own? How does he have any power over you except through you? How would he dare assail you if he had no cooperation from you? What could he do to you if you yourselves did not connive with the thief who plunders you, if you were not accomplices of the murderer who kills you, if you were not traitors to yourselves? You sow your crops in order that he may ravage them, you install and furnish your homes to give him goods to pillage; you rear your daughters that he may gratify his lust; you bring up your children in order that he may confer upon them the greatest privilege he knows — to be led into his battles, to be delivered to butchery, to be made the servants of his greed and the instruments of his vengeance; you yield your bodies unto hard labor in order that he may indulge in his delights and wallow in his filthy pleasures; you weaken yourselves in order to make him the stronger and the mightier to hold you in check.

Ils veulent servir pour amasser des biens: comme s'ils pouvaient rien gagner qui fût à eux, puisqu'ils ne peuvent même pas dire qu'ils sont à eux-mêmes.

Discourse on Voluntary Servitude (1548)

Et de tant d'indignités que les bêtes elles-mêmes ne supporteraient pas si elles les sentaient, vous pourriez vous délivrer si vous essayiez, même pas de vous délivrer, seulement de le vouloir.
Discourse on Voluntary Servitude (1548)

Soyez résolus à ne plus servir, et vous voilà libres. Je ne vous demande pas de le pousser, de l'ébranler, mais seulement de ne plus le soutenir, et vous le verrez, tel un grand colosse dont on a brisé la base, fondre sous son poids et se rompre.
