Freedom is the crux of self-respect. It is difficult to feel good about ourselves when we are unnaturally dependent on someone or something.

When a person gives, he loves the object of his giving more -- and so love is planted and grows.
Studies show that when we vocalize an opinion, whether or not we believe it to be true, in time we usually come to support it.
