"While we are free to choose our actions, we are not free to choose the consequences of our actions."	Stephen R. Covey
"Humanity needs practical men, who get the most out of their work, and, without forgetting the general good, safeguard their own interests. But humanity also needs dreamers, for whom the disinterested development of an enterprise is so captivating that it becomes impossible for them to devote their care to their own material profit. A well-organized society should assure to such workers the efficient means of accomplishing their task, in a life freed from material care and freely consecrated to research."	Marie Curie
"The condition upon which God has given liberty to man is eternal vigilance."	John Philpot Curran
"Everyone gets their rough day. No one gets a free ride. Today so far, I had a good day. I got a dial tone."	Rodney Dangerfield
"For what is liberty but the unhampered translation of will into act?"	Alighieri Dante

"But I am sure that I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round...as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely."	Charles Dickens
"I only ask to be free. The butterflies are free."	Charles Dickens
"I imagine, therefore I belong and am free."	Emily Elizabeth Dickinson
"Our heritage and ideals, our code and standards -- the things we live by and teach our children -- are preserved or diminished by how freely we exchange ideas and feelings."	Walt(er) Elias Disney
"So long as man remains free he strives for nothing so incessantly and so painfully as to find something to worship...[W]hat is essential is that all may be together in it. The craving for community worship is the chief misery of...all humanity. For the sake of common worship they've slain each other with the sword."	Feodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky
"Solitude is the beginning of all freedom."	William Orville Douglas

"The whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle. . . .If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters."	Frederick Douglass
"Dancing: The Highest Intelligence in the Freest Body."	Isadora Duncan
"Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. ...The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who do survive."	Frank Herbert Dune
