“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

“In the end, more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all – security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again.”
― Margaret Thatcher

“The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved.”
― Confucius, Confucian Analects, The Great Learning & The Doctrine of the Mean

“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
