ELEANOR ROOSEVELT ON FREEDOM

Eleanor Roosevelt said, "Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect."

The responsibility of which she spoke is a concern for the welfare of others, and the nation as a whole. When the citizens of a country become self-centered and me-oriented, freedom is soon lost.

(From a sermon by Damian Phillips, The Freedom Cycle, 6/26/2010)
