I learned to skate in our garage. We lived in the country in Florida, it was sort of farmish, and there was no cement anywhere else. Vert skating was the kind of skating that was done in pools, where you could get airborne and be weightless. The other style, which is what I did, was called free style, which was tricks you could do on flat ground. Rodney Mullen
A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs. Epicurus
Bondage is of the mind; freedom too is of the mind. If you say 'I am a free soul. I am a son of God who can bind me' free you shall be. Ramakrishna
Everything in life has a price on it - there ain't a damn thing free in America, and football has got a price on it. Earl Campbell

It is better for you to be free of fear lying upon a pallet, than to have a golden couch and a rich table and be full of trouble. Epicurus
A man is truly free, even here in this embodied state, if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything. Ramakrishna
Anytime you turn on your own concept of God, you are no longer a free man. No one needs to put chains on your body, because the chains are on your mind. John Henrik Clarke
Believing a person deserves a defence is not the same as doing anything in your power to get him off scot-free. Tammy Bruce
Confidence and empowerment are cousins in my opinion. Empowerment comes from within and typically it's stemmed and fostered by self-assurance. To feel empowered is to feel free and that's when people do their best work. You can't fake confidence or empowerment. Amy Jo Martin
Democracy arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal. Aristotle
Every New Year's Eve, I have a pact to do something I never thought I'd do. So I created this list. You have to free your mind to do things you wouldn't think of doing. Don't ever say no. Carl Lewis
