The first requisite of a good citizen in this republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his own weight.
Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose - and commit myself to - what is best for me.
Freedom is not something that anybody can be given. Freedom is something people take, and people are as free as they want to be.
Independence is loyalty to one's best self and principles, and this is often disloyalty to the general idols and fetishes.
Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
Freedom is the open window through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and human dignity.
