"As soon as laws are necessary for men, they are no longer fit for freedom." ― Pythagoras Topic(s): Freedom More From Pythagoras "It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few." "Strength of mind rests in sobriety; for this keeps your reason unclouded by passion." "Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life." More In Freedom "Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself."― Robert Foster Bennett "I think there’s some connection between absolute discipline and absolute freedom."― Alan Rickman "It’s good that the first half of the speech emphasized freedom, because George W. Bush has been the global champion for freedom. As he said, if we don’t fight tyranny it will not leave us alone in peace."― Ernest Istook
