Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
-Mahatma Gandhi
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"
So long as we are brave enough to accept the consequences of our actions, no one can take away our freedom of choice.
-Mike Norton
Freedom is that instant between when someone tells you to do something and when you decide how to respond.
-Jeffrey T. Borenstein
Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better.
-Albert Camus
