Free State Protectorate

Famous quotes containing the words free and/or state:

    “If you are ready to leave father and mother, and brother and sister, and wife and child and friends, and never see them again,—if you have paid your debts and made your will, and settled all your affairs, and are a free man, then you are ready for a walk.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The law of nature is alternation for evermore. Each electrical state superinduces the opposite. The soul environs itself with friends, that it may enter into a grander self-acquaintance or solitude; and it goes alone for a season, that it may exalt its conversation or society.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
