We want freedom for our country, but not at the expense or exploitation of others, not so as to degrade other countries.
Freedom from all attachment is the realization of God as Truth.
No government on earth can make men, who have realized freedom in their hearts, salute against their will.
Freedom battles are not fought without paying heavy prices.
Freedom received though the efforts of others, however benevolent, cannot be retained when such effort is withdrawn.
Freedom of worship, even of public speech, would become a farce if interference became the order of the day.
Fearlessness presupposes calmness and peace of mind.
It needs more than a heart of oak to shed all fear except the fear of God.
External fears cease of their own accord when once we have conquered these traitors within the camp.
The greatest help you can give me is to banish fear from your hearts.
It is weakness which breeds fear, and fear breeds distrust.
There is always the fear of self-righteousness possessing us, the fear of arrogating to ourselves a superiority that we do not possess.
The fear of the judge within is more terrible than that of the one without.
How can I even secretly harbour the thought that my neighbour's faith is inferior to mine?
