“Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation and freedom in all just pursuits.”

Dear Lord, Please help me today. Please give me the wisdom to understand that people are good at heart. Please help me as I do my best to be kind and help others today. Please give me the patience and wisdom so that I may be helpful to those in need. Amen

This Fourth of July, we might find ourselves barbecuing, congregating with loved ones and enjoying our precious free time. But July Fourth is also a time to step back, take stock and appreciate the deep freedoms we enjoy every day.

In honor of Independence Day and America’s birthday, here are some of the most inspirational quotes on freedom from great thinkers throughout history.

  • “Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?” Mahatma Ghandi
  • “If we are free from attachment, we can easily recognize ourselves in other people, in different forms of manifestation, and then we don’t have to suffer.” Unknown
  • “Liberty, taking the word in its concrete sense, consists in the ability to choose.”Simone Weil
  • “On life’s journey

    Faith is nourishment,

    Virtuous deeds are a shelter,

    Wisdom is the light by day and

    Right mindfulness is the protection by night.

    If a man lives a pure life nothing can destroy him;

    If he has conquered greed nothing can limit his freedom.” Buddah
