I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout.

I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. — © Dean Alfange
I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat.
I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed.
I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon - if I can. I seek opportunity - not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed... It is my heritage...to think and act for myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations, and to face the world boldly and say, this I have done.
