Quotations
Freedom
If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.
-John F. Kennedy
"Kennedy's Inaugural address of 1961."
Nobody objected to live in prison
if already felt comfortable living in it.
-Toba Beta
"Master of Stupidity"
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 from within.
-Frank Lloyd Wright
Freedom has cost too much blood and agony to be relinquished at the cheap price of rhetoric.
-Thomas Sowell
"Knowledge And Decisions"
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
-Abraham Lincoln
Love and freedom are such hideous words. So many cruelties have been done in their name.
-Joseph O'connor
"Star of the Sea"
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"
When we awaken to our truth, we realize we are free.
