A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
自由
Freedom
The course of this conflict is not known, yet its outcome is certain. Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them.
这场冲突的过程尚不清楚,但其结果是肯定的。自由与恐惧,正义与残忍,一直处于战争状态,我们知道上帝在它们之间并不是中立的。
For the saddest epitaph which can be carved in memory of a vanished freedom is that it was lost because its possessors failed to stretch forth a saving hand while there was still time.
因为,最悲哀的墓志铭,可以刻在记忆中一个消失的自由,是它失去了,因为它的拥有者没有伸出一只拯救之手,而仍然有时间。

I know what you're going to say! 'They are men, and men should be free.' A free man is dangerous to himself and everyone else. Freedom should be left to those who can put it to good use.

I think we're struggling with trying to redefine various positions at this point in history. To allow freedom for women, freedom for men, freedom from those sharply defined gender roles.

Mum used to hide love letters from my boyfriends and put me down. Now I understand that she was a Polish immigrant forced to settle in Chicago. She was jealous of the freedom life gave me.

It is not natural or inevitable that half the world goes hungry; that the freedom of markets trumps protection of the planet; or that citizens' rights come second to those of corporations.

Yes, we have the freedom to do what we please, but it only works because we don't do everything we might please - we should exercise some degree of personal, and corporate, responsibility.
是的,我们有做自己喜欢做的事情的自由,但这只是因为我们没有做所有我们可能喜欢做的事情——我们应该行使一定程度的个人和公司责任。
Carry out the republican principle of universal suffrage, or strike it from your banners and substitute 'Freedom and Power to one half of society, and Submission and Slavery to the other.'

There couldn't be better parents than mine, loving yet strict. They disciplined with love. A child without discipline is, in away, a lost child. You cannot have freedom without discipline.
没有比我更好的父母了,爱而严格。他们用爱来约束自己。一个没有纪律的孩子,在很大程度上是一个迷失的孩子。没有纪律就没有自由。
