Quotations
Freedom
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
...true freedom is impossible without a mind made free by discipline.
-Mortimer Jerome Adler
"How to Read a Book: The Classic Bestselling Guide to Reading Books and Accessing Information"
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"
The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask.
-Jim Morrison
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"
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"
If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.
-Ronald Reagan
The amount of "freedom" with which you are living your life, can be determined
by the extent to which you have to suppress your desires under the pressure
from others.
-Deep Trivedi
No person can do this or that to keep another from being truly free. We are always free. Even if imprisoned.
-Leigh LaValle
