I am so happy in your happiness. To you, happiness is a form of freedom, and of all the people I know you should be free.
-Khalil Gibran
Quotations
Freedom
If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other.
-Carl Schurz
Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose - and commit myself to - what is best for me.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Zahir"
Open up, create free space; release the bound one from his bonds! Like a newborn child, freed from the womb, be free to move on every path!
-Vedas "Atharva Veda"
Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.
-Benjamin Franklin
He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.
-Aristotle
Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one.
-A. J. Liebling
Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.
-Jean Paul Sartre
Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.
-Ronald Reagan
It is hard to find a man who has desire for what he has not tasted, or who tastes the world and is untouched. Here in the world some crave pleasure, some seek freedom but it is hard to find a man who wants neither. It is hard to find a man who has an open mind, who neither seeks nor shuns wealth or pleasure, duty or liberation, life or death…He does not want the world to end. He does not mind if it lasts. Whatever befalls him, He lives in happiness.
-Ashtavakra Gita "Ashtavakra Gita 17:4-7"
