Friendship is by its very nature freer of deceit than any other relationship we can know because it is the bond least affected by striving for power, physical pleasure, or material profit, most liberated from any oath of duty or of constancy. With Eros the body stands naked, in friendship our spirit is denuded.
Francine du Plessix Gray
Image
Every time you meet a situation you think at the time it is an impossibility and you go through the tortures of the damned, once you have met it and lived through it, you find that forever after you are freer than you were before.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
I am wont to think that men are not so much the keepers of herds as herds are the keepers of men. The former are so much the freer.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
The more controlled, limited and tormented art is, the freer it is.
Igor Stravinsky

The best leaders are clear. They continually light the way, and in the process, let each person know that what they do makes a difference. The best test as a leader is: Do those served grow as persons do they become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become leaders?
Robert K. Greenleaf

I would be constantly brought up on the carpet by these teachers who were brought up with Abstract Expressionism, saying, You're too uptight, you're not expressing yourself, why don't you feel freer? I said, Well, I don't like that stuff. It means nothing to me.
Paul Laffoley

What our economists call a depressed area almost always turns out to be a cleaner, freer, more livable place than most.
Edward Abbey

Growth is improving the lot of the poor in many countries, reducing poverty by half since 1981. Freer trade could accelerate progress.
Francois Bourguignon
Image
We had much freer trade in the 19th century. We have much less globalization now than we did then.
Milton Friedman
Image
So in the sense that we were all dealing with that freer approach, yes, it was certainly one of the first contacts, perhaps the first contact, when Peter came that summer. So it's a very pivotal moment that is documented there.
Evan Parker
Image
The evidence of history speaks with a single voice. I do not know any exception to the proposition that if you compare like with like, the freer the system, the better off the ordinary poor people have been.
Milton Friedman
Image
What keeps earth air breathable? Not oxygen alone. The earth is a freer place to breathe in, every time you love without calculating a return -- every time you make your drudgeries and routines still more inefficient by stopping to experience the shock of beauty wherever it unpredictably flickers.
Peter Viereck
Image
A man is as free as he chooses to make himself, never an atom freer.
George MacDonald
Image
If all the lawyers were hanged tomorrow, and their bones were sold to a mah jong factory, we'd all be freer and safer, and our taxes would be reduced by almost a half.
H. L. Mencken
Image
We see nothing but good and hope in a richer, freer, more contented European commonalty. But we have our own dreams and our own task. We are with Europe, but not of it. We are linked, but not comprised. We are interested and associated, but not absorbed.
Winston Churchill
Image
Reading things that are relevant to the facts of your life is of limited value. The facts are, after all, only the facts, and the yearning passionate part of you will not be met there. That is why reading ourselves as a fiction as well as fact is so liberating. The wider we read the freer we become.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
For me, running is about freedom. I find that the freer I feel, the faster I am.
Jennifer Beals
Image
We get so little news about the developing world that we often forget that there are literally millions of people out there struggling to change things to be fairer, freer, more democratic, less corrupt.
Alex Steffen

In other words, we are never freer than when we become most ourselves, most human, most just, most excellent, and the like.
Os Guinness

The United States is a land of free speech. Nowhere is speech freer - not even here where we sedulously cultivate it even in its most repulsive form.
Winston Churchill
Image
There's something about singing that I just love. It makes me feel freer than anything in the world.
Mandy Patinkin
Image
Our ideas of self are created by identification. The less we cling to ideas of self, the freer and happier we will be.
Jack Kornfield
Image
Polyphonic prose is a kind of free verse, except that it is still freer. Polyphonic makes full use of cadence, rime, alliteration, assonance.
Amy Lowell
Image
I was letting go and undoing the hell I had created. By squaring all with love, trying to love rather than trying to be loved, and by taking responsibility for all that was happening to me finding my subconscious thought and correcting it, I became freer and freer, happier and happier.
