Quote

Human beings have an instinct for freedom.

To enjoy freedom we have to control ourselves.

Freedom comes from strength and self-reliance.

Freedom begins as we become conscious of it.

Freedom is not procured by a full enjoyment of what is desired, but by controlling the desire.

Human beings want to be free and however long they may agree to stay locked up, to stay oppressed, there will come a time when they say 'That's it.' Suddenly they find themselves doing something that they never would have thought they would be doing, simply because of the human instinct that makes them turn their face towards freedom.

Freedom was conditioned by man's physical body, heredity, and environment.

Freedom comes only to those who no longer ask of life that it shall yield them any of those personal goods that are subject to the mutations of time.

Human freedom involves our capacity to pause, to choose the one response toward which we wish to throw our weight.
