“Freedom is not in doing what you want to do, but in becoming what you want to be.”

“We want our children to become who they are--- and a developed person is, above all, free. But freedom as we define it doesn't mean doing what you want. Freedom means the ability to make choices that are good for you. It is the power to choose to become what you are capable of becoming, to develop your unique potential by making choices that turn possibility into reality. It is the ability to make choices that actualize you. As often as not, maybe more often than not, this kind of freedom means doing what you do not want, doing what is uncomfortable or tiring or boring or annoying.”

“Freedom begins way back. It begins not with doing what you want but with doing what you ought - that is, with discipline.”

“If it's freedom you want, come to Texas. No one there tells you what to do and how you have to do it.”

“Don't do what you want. Do what you don't want. Do what you're trained not to want. Do the things that scare you the most.”

“Freedom is not doing what we want, but what we should.”
