Quote by Rollo May
It requires greater courage to preserve inner freedom, to move on

It requires greater courage to preserve inner freedom, to move on in ones inward journey into new realms, than to stand defiantly for outer freedom. It is often easier to play the martyr, as it is to be rash in battle. – Rollo May
