"Freedom is the right to live as we wish"

- Epictetus

About this Quote

Epictetus' quote talks to the importance of freedom and the right to live as we wish. Liberty is a fundamental human right, and it is important for us to be able to make our own decisions and live our lives as we pick. Without flexibility, we would be unable to pursue our dreams and objectives, or perhaps to make standard choices about our lives. Flexibility enables us to express ourselves, to explore our capacity, and to live our lives in a manner that is significant to us. It is a basic part of our humankind, and it is something that we must all aim to secure and safeguard. Epictetus' quote advises us of the value of flexibility and the right to live as we wish.
