Independence Quotes (page 13)

Charlotte Bronte quote: "Intelligence and proper education will give you independence..."
Intelligence and proper education will give you independence of spirit. Charlotte Bronte
John Quincy Adams quote: "America... goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy...."
America... goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. John Quincy Adams
Mary Wollstonecraft quote: "It is vain to expect virtue from women till they are in some..."
It is vain to expect virtue from women till they are in some degree independent of men. Mary Wollstonecraft
Now, the error which many parents commit in the treatment of the individual at this time(adolescense) is, insisting on the same unreasoning obedience as when all he had to do in the way of duty was, to obey the simple laws of "Come when you're called," and "Do as you're bid!" But a wise parent humours the desire for independent action, so as to become the friend and adviser when his absolute rule shall cease. Elizabeth Gaskell
Where there is to be creative action, it is quite beside the point to discuss what we should or should not do in order to be right or good. A mind that is single and sincere is not interested in being good, in conducting relations with other people so as to live up to a rule. Nor, on the other hand, is it interested in being free, in acting perversely just to prove its independence. Its interest is not in itself, but in the people and problems of which it is aware; these are “itself.” It... Alan Watts
he must deny his right to himself, and he must realize who Jesus Christ is before he will bring himself to do it. Beware of refusing to go to the funeral of your own independence Oswald Chambers
Only literature could reveal the process of breaking the law - without which the law would have no end - independently of the necessity to create order. Georges Bataille
A man cannot think himself out of mental evil; for it is actually the organ of thought that has become diseased, ungovernable, and, as it were, independent. He can only be saved by will or faith. The moment his mere reason moves, it moves in the old circular rut; he will go round and round his logical circle. Gilbert K. Chesterton
But when a man draws a lifeless thing into his passionate longing for dialogue, lending it independence and as it were a soul, then there may dawn in him the presentiment of a world-wide dialogue with the world-happening that steps up to him even in his environment, which consists partially of things. Or do you seriously think that the giving and taking of signs halts on the threshold of that business where an honest and open spirit is found? Martin Buber
When a people holds onto its language, it holds onto a semblance of freedom, like a man who holds onto his independence when he retains his own way of thinking. Language is the thought of a people. Jose Rizal
The only true free-thinker is he whose intellect is as much free from the future as from the past. He cares as little for what will be as for what has been; he cares only for what ought to be. And for my present purpose I specially insist on this abstract independence. Gilbert K. Chesterton
After having so nobly disentangled themselves from the shackles of Parental Authority, by a Clandestine Marriage, they were determined never to forfeit the good opinion they had gained in the World, in so doing, by accepting any proposals of reconciliation that might be offered them by their Fathers? to their farther trial of their noble independence however they never were exposed. Jane Austen
George Eliot quote: "But a good wife—a good unworldly woman—may really help a man,..."
But a good wife—a good unworldly woman—may really help a man, and keep him more independent. George Eliot
Jo's breath gave out here, and wrapping her head in the paper, she bedewed her little story with a few natural tears, for to be independent and earn the praise of those she loved were the dearest wishes of her heart, and this seemed to be the first step toward that happy end. Louisa May Alcott
But the point about that kind of stuff was that you needed someone around to be proudly independent and self-reliant. People who didn’t need people needed people around to know that they were the kind of people who didn’t need people. Terry Prachett
