Humans like to think of themselves as unusual. We've got big brains that make it possible for us to think, and we think that we have free will and that our behavior can't be described by some mechanistic set of theorems or ideas. But even in terms of much of our behavior, we really aren't very different from other animals.
I believe that the therapist's function should be to help people become free to be aware of and to experience their possibilities.
For thousands of years, there have been lies about being gay or not being gay. If you know they're lies, you're free.
Sometimes, the thing that ties you down sets you free.
Whatever differences we have, tolerating others' opinions is a prerequisite to a functioning and free society.
Here's the problem the Free Syrian Army has. They really want to topple the regime in Damascus, and this is where most of the fight takes place, between Aleppo and Damascus for the Free Syrian Army.
I think the touchstone is to give consumers a full, fair choice without the power of a monopoly operating system pushing them in a direction that free competition might or might not achieve.
Free trade agreements are never for one sector alone.
We are on pace this year to have a trade deficit that is larger than $800 billion. We have never faced that before, but we continue to put forward trade agreements like these that leave us naked to competition that is neither free nor fair.
In fact, our monthly trade deficit figure is so huge it equals the entire annual budget of our Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans fought to make us free from foreign tyranny, but the new tyranny is taking a different form.
Too many countries that do not play by the free trade rules of the World Trade Organization - including, notably mercantilist China and monopolist Saudi Arabia - have been allowed in, to the detriment of both the WTO and the liberal trading environment it is supposed to sponsor.
I wanted to give money to people like this woman so that they would be free from the moneylenders to sell their product at the price which the markets gave them - which was much higher than what the trader was giving them.
What nobody wants to discuss is whether or not the black-and-white argument about trade - you're either a free trader or you're a protectionist - is the right one. It's the old 19th century argument.
I prefer for government to err toward less regulation, lower taxation, and free markets. And I'm a radical free trader.
We all know that China is not a free trader. That's the reality.
I submitted videos and applications to talent agencies and TV shows; I drove to Vegas and visited agents. I was on 'America's Got Talent'; I played for free at venues in attempts to be 'found' and yet all the experts in the entertainment industry told me that what I did was not marketable and that I had to join a group or do more traditional music.
We are becoming a society where traditional values and free speech are being diminished and the religious are viewed as having a backward mentality.
The free world led by the U.S. fought almost all regimes that trampled on human rights.
There are many ways to be free. One of them is to transcend reality by imagination, as I try to do.
Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world.
