Man in general, if reduced to himself, is too wicked to be free.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No man is free who is not master of himself.
Who then is free? The wise man who can command himself.
No one is free who does not lord over himself.
The free man is he who does not fear to go to the end of his thought.
He that is kind is free, though he is a slave; he that is evil is a slave, though he be a king.
Man is not free unless government is limited.
Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.
Whoever will be free must make himself free. Freedom is no fairy gift to fall into a man's lap. What is freedom? To have the will to be responsible for one's self.
Man is free at the moment he wishes to be.
A man is truly free, even here in this embodied state, if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything.
