Psychotherapy and counselling should make people aware of themselves and of the difficulties which they face. This then gives them the freedom to choose for themselves. In this sense, unlike behaviour therapy, psychotherapy is value-free: no advice, suggestions or recriminations are given. Indeed the only value of psychotherapy is respect for the individual. Such respect, however, in a mechanistic and objectifying society ... Becomes a political act.
— Paul KlineIt's the duty of every man to free himself. Never accept to live an underdog's life in god’s world.
— Bangambiki HabyarimanaFreedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
— Ronald ReaganWhen the actions of others no longer matter, then you will have succeeded within your own mind.
— Jo De RamanSuppression or Invalidation of any innate expression of who or what I am is a crime against myself.
— Jean-Jacques DalpeEvery revolution starts with the aim to help the poor, but when the poor get it they forget who they were and become the new oppressors. The cycle goes on forever.
— Bangambiki HabyarimanaEach person carries within their core the birthright of creative freedom, which, when organized and orchestrated, is the most awesome force on earth.
— Bryant McGillHuman beings possess the gift of personal freedom and liberty of the mind. We each possess the sovereignty over the body and mind to define ourselves and embrace the values that we wish to exemplify. Personal autonomy enables humans to take independent action and use reason to establish moral values. We are part of nature. Consciousness, human cognition, and awareness of our own mortality allow us to script an independent survival reality and not merely react to environmental forces.
— Kilroy J. OldsterIt is only when you take responsibility for your life that you discover how powerful you truly are.
— Allanah HuntLet no one ever intimidate you, you are standing on no one's ground. But again, some have claimed the earth as their own and usurped power from the rest of us. But they are usurpers; power belongs to every one of us. Seek it as much as possible. There is no shame in that. In fact it's a necessity. Either you have power or you are trampled to death in the stampede to get to the top.
