“Self-discipline is a form of freedom. Freedom from laziness and lethargy, freedom from expectations and demands of others, freedom from weakness and fear -- and doubt.”

“The notion of freedom proclaimed by the modern world is anti-discipline. But true freedom cannot be separated from discipline.”

“We all nurture impulses which promise freedom from the demands of others, even if that freedom means death.”

“Personal truth sets me free from fear for self. And Love is freedom from fear.”

“The only real prison is fear, and the only real freedom is freedom from fear”

“Real freedom is freedom from the opinions of others. Above all, freedom from your opinions about yourself. ”

“But rules for sustainability, like every workable social rule, would be put into place not to destroy freedoms, but to create freedoms or to protect them. A ban on bank robbing inhibits the freedom of the thief in order to assure that everyone else has the freedom to deposit and withdraw money safely. A ban on overuse of a renewable resource or on the generation of a dangerous pollutant protects vital freedoms in a similar way.”
