"He
is free who knows how to keep in his own hands
the power
to decide at each step, the course of his life,
and who
lives in a society which does not block
the
exercise of that power."
--
Salvador De Madariaga
(1886-1978 ), Spanish writer, diplomat, and historian,
noted for his service at the League of Nations
