Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others.
-William Allen White
It is hard to find a man who has desire for what he has not tasted, or who tastes the world and is untouched. Here in the world some crave pleasure, some seek freedom but it is hard to find a man who wants neither. It is hard to find a man who has an open mind, who neither seeks nor shuns wealth or pleasure, duty or liberation, life or death…He does not want the world to end. He does not mind if it lasts. Whatever befalls him, He lives in happiness.
-Ashtavakra Gita "Ashtavakra Gita 17:4-7"
Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.
-Ronald Reagan
I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.

Freedom is that instant between when someone tells you to do something and when you decide how to respond.
-Jeffrey T. Borenstein
