About This Quote
When Thomas Jefferson said, “Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward,” he was talking about the power of independence. Independence can be taken as freedom. Independence can be taken as self-reliance. Self-reliance is the act of relying on oneself to do things. If you rely on someone else, you are not truly free, because this other person has the power to decide what happens next.
