“It isn’t always others who enslave us. Sometimes we let circumstances enslave us; sometimes we let routine enslave us; sometimes we let things enslave us; sometimes, with weak wills, we enslave ourselves. Sometimes we partake of detrimental things that we think will sooth our nerves, minds and imaginations—things we think will help us escape from reality. But no man is free if he is running away from reality. And no man is free if he is running away from himself.” ~ Richard L. Evans
“To obey God is perfect liberty; he that does this shall be free, safe, and quiet.” ~ Seneca
