Complete Independence

Famous quotes containing the words complete and/or independence:

    We place no particular value upon the possession of a virtue until we detect its complete absence in our adversary.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    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.
