“Who then is free? The wise man who can command himself.”

Classic.

sounds simple.. but many never acheive true freedom.

The wise man who can discipline himself

No one is as enslaved as he who is enslaved in his own mind.

I like it.

The wise man needs no law but his own. It's all of those fools out there who shackle the wise.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools. Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good. Ecclesiastes 9:17,18.) Wisdom giveth life to them that have it.

Yes he is a free man who can command himself... because fpr doing the right things .. particularly when sorrounded by faulty thinkers one needs to 'command himself; in order to freely do the right thingss.

Seek after that witch good is, Help where needed.
