Freedom Is Having A Mind Superior To Injury

"Liberty is having a mind superior to injury, a mind that makes itself the only source from which its pleasures spring, that separates itself from all external things, avoiding the unquiet life of one who fears everybody’s laughter, everybody’s tongue. For if there is anyone who can offer an insult, who cannot?"

—Seneca, On the Constancy of the Wise Man 19.2
