Quotations
Freedom
For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
-Nelson Mandela
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"
Liberty a word without which all other words are vain.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
How can you be free, if you don't even know you're trap or lock inside?
-Ann Marie Aguilar
Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
-Jim Morrison
The history of free men is never written by chance but by choice - their choice.
-Dwight D. Eisenhower
Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others.
-William Allen White
...true freedom is impossible without a mind made free by discipline.
-Mortimer Jerome Adler
