A few words.................................

 

................................from some long shots:

There are but few important events in the affairs of men brought about by their own choice.
-U. S. Grant

A la base de notre civilisation, il y a la liberté de chacun dans sa pensée, ses croyances, ses opinions, son travail, ses loisirs.
(At the root of our civilization, there is the freedom of each person of thought, of belief, of opinion, of work, of leisure.)
-Charles de Gaulle

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.
-Viktor Frankl

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
-Helen Keller

To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker.
-Frederick Douglass
