Quotations
Freedom
It has been said that each generation must win its own struggle to be free.
-Robert F. Kennedy
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"
Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.
-Benjamin Franklin
The secret of happiness is freedom but to be totally free you need to earn: courage, persistence and boldness.
-Santosh Kalwar
Liberty: One of Imagination's most precious possessions.
-Ambrose Bierce
A man is truly free, even here in this embodied state, if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.
-Jean Paul Sartre
I have come to realize that men are not born to be free.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
