About This Quote
To be truly free, we must be able to respond consciously, in the most beneficial way, to whatever life throws at us. If we respond to our own emotions and impulses without thinking or questioning, we will remain slaves to those emotions and impulses. If we respond to our environment with a conscious thought and a deliberate action, we can change our environment to meet our needs.
