A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
自由
Freedom
You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.
你不能把和平与自由分开,因为没有人能在没有自由的情况下保持和平。
Freedom of the press is not an end in itself but a means to the end of achieving a free society.

胜利的生活并不意味着远离诱惑,也不意味着远离错误。
Freedom is not given to us by anyone; we have to cultivate it ourselves. It is a daily practice.
自由不是任何人给我们的;我们必须自己培养它。这是每天的练习。
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
自由是说二加二等于四的自由。如果这是被允许的,所有其他的都随之而来。
Freedom is for honest people. No man who is not himself honest can be free – he is his own trap.

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
当我们让自己的光芒闪耀时,我们无意识地允许别人也这样做。当我们从恐惧中解放出来时,我们的存在自动地解放了他人。
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Don't store unnecessary data, keep an eye on what's happening, and don't take unnecessary risks.

Keep your best wishes, close to your heart and watch what happens.
把你最好的祝福放在心里,看看会发生什么。
Many politicians are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim.
许多政治家习惯于把它作为一个不言自明的命题,即在人们能够充分利用他们的自由之前,没有人应该是自由的。这句格言就像古老故事里的傻瓜,他决定在学会游泳之前不下水。
