Quotations
Freedom
The greatest freedom is to be obedient and faithful to God. As we yield ourselves to God’s love and mercy, we are liberated from the suffering of sins. No longer are we dominated by unreasonable fears, compulsions and addictions. We live in peace and unity with all people. Despair and rage pass away.
-A Spiritual Leader "Bishop Joseph"
Until we are all free, we are none of us free.
-Emma Lazarus
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
-Thomas Jefferson
Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.
-Jean Paul Sartre
Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others.

Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.

No person can do this or that to keep another from being truly free. We are always free. Even if imprisoned.
-Leigh LaValle
