About This Quote
Freedom began on the day that the first sheep wandered away from the herd. This is a very old saying that is said to have been made by a Greek philosopher named Zeno. He was quoted saying, “A man is free when he wants to be.” It seemed like a very simple idea at the time since there were no laws to tell people what they could or could not do. The only thing people had to do was simply decide if they wanted to be free or if they wanted to stay locked up in cages.
