-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

"In der Sache J. Robert Oppenheimer"
Most people would look at an animal in a cage and instinctively feel that it should be set free. . . . It's a dangerous world out there, filled with predators. . . . What would you prefer? A comfortable, safe, warm, cosy life in a cage, or an uncertain life of freedom.

Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others.
-William Allen White
The greatest freedom is to be obedient and faithful to God. As we yield ourselves to God’s love and mercy, we are liberated from the suffering of sins. No longer are we dominated by unreasonable fears, compulsions and addictions. We live in peace and unity with all people. Despair and rage pass away.
-A Spiritual Leader "Bishop Joseph"
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well-armed lamb.
