William Ellery Channing Quote – “I call that mind free which is not passively…”

I call that mind free which is not passively framed by outward circumstances, which is not swept away by the torrent of events, which is not the creature of accidental impulse, but which bends events to its own improvement, and acts from an inward spring, from immutable principles which is has deliberately espoused.

William Ellery Channing (1780 – 1842)
