Freedom
Ignorance is ultimately the worst enemy of a people who want to be free.
-Jonathan Hennessey
"The United States Constitution: A Graphic Adaptation"
If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other.
-Carl Schurz
We gain freedom when we have paid the full price for our right to live.

by the extent to which you have to suppress your desires under the pressure
from others.
-Deep Trivedi
Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
So long as the state exists there is no freedom. When there is freedom, there will be no state.
-Vladimir Lenin
Freedom is the ultimate dignity of a human being, please handle it with utmost
care. Neither should you interfere in anyone's life nor let any person, religion,
society or scripture intervene in your life. Because...you are unique and the
only one of your kind. No one like you has ever been born before nor would be.
Hence, your only duty as a human being is to safeguard yourself against all and
make the journey of your life a truly memorable one.
-Deep Trivedi
I have come to realize that men are not born to be free.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
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"
