- 'Tis the privilege of friendship to talk nonsense, and have her nonsense respected.
- Charles Lamb (1775 - 1834)
- When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.
- Edgar Watson Howe (1853 - 1937)
- It requires greater courage to preserve inner freedom, to move on in one's inward journey into new realms, than to stand defiantly for outer freedom. It is often easier to play the martyr, as it is to be rash in battle.
- Rollo May
- Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of fear is a freedom.
- Marilyn Ferguson
- A useful definition of liberty is obtained only by seeking the principle of liberty in the main business of human life, that is to say, in the process by which men educate their responses and learn to control their environment.
- Walter Lippman
- You must pay for conformity. All goes well as long as you run with conformists. But you, who are honest men in other particulars, know that there is alive somewhere a man whose honesty reaches to this point also, that he shall not kneel to false gods, and, on the day when you meet him, you sink into the class of counterfeits.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
- You can protect your liberties in this world only by protecting the other man's freedom. You can be free only if I am free.
- Clarence Darrow (1857 - 1938)
- The aim of art, the aim of a life can only be to increase the sum of freedom and responsibility to be found in every man and in the world. It cannot, under any circumstances, be to reduce or suppress that freedom, even temporarily. No great work has ever been based on hatred and contempt. On the contrary, there is not a single true work of art that has not in the end added to the inner freedom of each person who has known and loved it.
- Albert Camus (1913 - 1960)
- Courage is always greatest when blended with meekness; intellectual ability is most admired when it sparkles in the setting of modest self-distrust; and never does the human soul appear so strong as when it foregoes revenge and dares to forgive any injury.
- Author Unknown
- A wise man will make haste to forgive, because he knows the full value of time and will not suffer it to pass away in unnecessary pain.
- Rambler
