The outward freedom that we shall attain will only be in exact proportion to the inward freedom to which we may have grown at a given moment.
Mahatma Gandhi (1869 – 1948), India
When freedom is not an inner idea which imparts strength to our activities and breadth to our creations, when it is merely a thing of external circumstance, it is like an open space to one who is blindfolded.
Rabindranath Tagore (1861—1941), India
Valuing freedom of thought above all things, as the only way of reaching at some future time that Wisdom, of which every Theosophist ought to be enamoured, we recognize the right to the same freedom in our foes as in our friends.
H.P. Blavatsky (1831-1891), Russia
