by the extent to which you have to suppress your desires under the pressure
from others.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Freedom
My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.
-Adlai E. Stevenson
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"
Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life.
-Bob Marley
Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
-Mahatma Gandhi
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
-Benjamin Franklin
Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one.
-A. J. Liebling
If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.
-Ronald Reagan
Freedom is not doing what we want, but what we should.
-Victor Manuel Rivera
"In Search of True Freedom"
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
