I don't like definitions, but if there is a definition of freedom, it would be when you have control over your reality to transform it, to change it, rather than having it imposed upon you. You can't really ask for more than that.

The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there...and still on your feet.

It is hard to fight desire; but to control it is the sign of a reasonable man.

Every aquarium will eventually leak.

Never ruin an apology with an excuse.

It is neither good nor bad, but thinking makes it so.

When you learn, teach, when you get, give.

Whatever it is you're seeking won't come in the form you're expecting.

Nobody has the power to take two steps together; you can take only one step at a time.

Never put off for tomorrow, what you can do today.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.

There is geometry in the humming of the strings. There is music in the spacing of the spheres.

Don't expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong.

Achievement brings its own anticlimax.

Taste every fruit of every tree in the garden at least once. It is an insult to creation not to experience it fully. Temperance is wickedness.

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.
