Whoever is not in the possession of leisure can hardly be said to possess independence.
The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness.
There are few enough people with sufficient independence to see the weaknesses and follies of their contemporaries and remain themselves untouched by them.
The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.
Remember what Independence means and the bravery it cost. Freedom is not free. Someone is paying the price for you right now.
Injustice in the end produces independence.[L’injustice à la fin produit l’indépendance.]
I like friends who have independent minds because they tend to make you see problems from all angles.
