The freedom now desired by many is not freedom to do and dare but freedom from care and worry.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.
What then is freedom? The power to live as one wishes.
Freedom is not enough.
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.
Freedom is not procured by a full enjoyment of what is desired, but by controlling the desire.
Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.
For in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle; and one faces down fears of today so that those of tomorrow might be engaged.
Freedom cannot be given... It can only be taken away.
There is no such thing as a little freedom. Either you are all free, or you are not free.
What is freedom? Freedom is the right to choose: the right to create for oneself the alternatives of choice.
