Men in great place are thrice servants; servants of the sovereign state, servants of fame, and servants of business; so as they have no freedom, neither in their persons, nor in their actions, nor in their times. it is a strange desire to seek power and to lose liberty; or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man's self.

More From John Locke

We will freedom for freedom’s sake, in and through particular circumstances. and in thus willing freedom, we discover that it depends entirely upon the freedom of others and that the freedom of others depends upon our own. obviously, freedom as the definition of a man does not depend upon others, but as soon as there is a commitment, i am obliged to will the liberty of others at the same time as my own. i cannot make liberty my aim unless i make that of others equally my aim.

Loyalty Country School
The statue of liberty was never meant to be a symbol of immigration. it was meant to be a symbol of liberty and freedom. lady liberty is stepping forward. she is meant to be carrying the torch of liberty from the united states to the rest of the world. the torch is not to light the way to the united states. it is to light the way to liberty to the rest of the world. lady liberty is carrying the light of liberty to the rest of the world. it is not a beacon for immigrants to get to this country because they're tired, they're poor, they're huddled, hungry, or thirsty.
Country Tired Liberty
At the still point of the turning world. neither flesh nor fleshless; neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is, but neither arrest nor movement. and do not all it fixity, where past and future are gathered. neither movement from nor towards, neither ascent nor decline. except for the point, the still point, there would be no dance, and there is only the dance.
Past Silence Would Be
What i mean by socialism is a condition of society in which there should be neither rich nor poor, neither master nor master's man, neither idle nor overworked, neither brain­slack brain workers, nor heart­sick hand workers, in a word, in which all men would be living in equality of condition, and would manage their affairs unwastefully, and with the full consciousness that harm to one would mean harm to all - the realisation at last of the meaning of the word 'commonwealth.'
Mean Heart Men
I who still pray at morning and at eve thrice in my life perhaps have truly prayed, thrice stirred below conscious self have felt that perfect disenthrallment which is god.
