If a man's free will to adopt ideas and values is inalienable, his freedom of action - his freedom to put these ideas into effect in the world - is not in such a fortunate condition.

Freedom conceives that the mind and spirit of man can be free only if he be free to pattern his own life, to develop his own talents, free to earn, to spend, to save, to acquire property as the security of his old age and his family.
Freedom is man's capacity to take a hand in his own development. It is our capacity to mold ourselves.
We are gifted with freedom, but with that freedom comes the reality of the unknown and the responsibility to be aware of our surroundings and on guard against those who would do us harm.
There are two freedoms - the false, where a man is free to do what he likes; the true, where he is free to do what he ought.
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.
One of the greatest gifts that God has given us is free will. Even though it's free, we don't take advantage of it as much as we could when it comes to matters of the heart.
Freedom is not procured by a full enjoyment of what is desired, but by controlling the desire.
As precious as life itself is our heritage of individual freedom, for man's free agency is a God-given gift.
You will not make a man wiser by taking freedom of action from him. A man can only learn when he is free to act.
Perfect freedom is reserved for the man who lives by his own work and in that work does what he wants to do.
