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
Quotations
Freedom
Garner the strength to keep your 'freedom' intact under any circumstances and
protect your mood at any cost; then whatever may happen to anyone...you will
surely be seated on the ultimate height of joy and success.
-Deep Trivedi
Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.

-Leigh LaValle
"The Runaway Countess"
The secret of happiness is freedom but to be totally free you need to earn: courage, persistence and boldness.
-Santosh Kalwar
Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.
-Henry David Thoreau
Freedom is from within.
-Frank Lloyd Wright
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"
Until we are all free, we are none of us free.
-Emma Lazarus
A person’s freedom can be seen as being valuable in addition to his or her achievements.
-Amartya Sen
