Independence is happiness.

Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the danger of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of 'crackpot' than the stigma of conformity.

Injustice in the end produces independence.

At the bottom of education, at the bottom of politics, even at the bottom of religion, there must be for our race economic independence.

We must have constantly present in our minds the difference between independence and liberty. Liberty is a right of doing whatever the laws permit, and if a citizen could do what they forbid he would no longer be possessed of liberty.

Independence? That's middle class blasphemy. We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.

Originality is independence, not rebellion; it is sincerity, not antagonism.

The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: Initiative, Imagination, Individuality and Independence.

It is very nearly impossible... to become an educated person in a country so distrustful of the independent mind.

The most dangerous thing in the world is the sin of self-reliance and the stupor of worldliness.
