Freedom
So long as we are brave enough to accept the consequences of our actions, no one can take away our freedom of choice.
-Mike Norton
It has been said that each generation must win its own struggle to be free.
-Robert F. Kennedy
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 not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose - and commit myself to - what is best for me.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Zahir"
I have come to realize that men are not born to be free.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
Be it life or business, it is only freedom that can nurture it. If you want the country
to grow, there is no solution other than setting your economy free.
-Deep Trivedi
Open up, create free space; release the bound one from his bonds! Like a newborn child, freed from the womb, be free to move on every path!
-Vedas "Atharva Veda"
Without Freedom or Liberty, creativity cannot exist.
