-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Quotations
Freedom
Most people would look at an animal in a cage and instinctively feel that it should be set free. . . . It's a dangerous world out there, filled with predators. . . . What would you prefer? A comfortable, safe, warm, cosy life in a cage, or an uncertain life of freedom.
-Scarlett Thomas

Only free men can negotiate, prisoners cannot enter into contracts.
-Nelson Mandela
Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.
-Jean Paul Sartre
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"
There is freedom in stepping out and taking risks when you know at any given moment, you can always begin again.

-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
So long as we are brave enough to accept the consequences of our actions, no one can take away our freedom of choice.
-Mike Norton
Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.
