If you don't judge my gold chains, I'll forget the iron chains.

LL Cool J

Chains of iron or of silk-both are chains.

Friedrich Schiller

Not everyone is willing to embrace liberty; liberty requires not just effort, but risk. Some people choose to delude themselves and see their chains as protective armor.

Terry Goodkind

No people to whom liberty is given can hold it as firmly and wear it as grandly as those who wrench their liberty from the iron hand of the tyrant.

Frederick Douglass

I don't shop just high-end, honestly. I shop at Zara, I shop at Topshop, I shop at H&M. I shop everywhere.

Russell Westbrook

Wild liberty develops iron conscience. Want of liberty, by strengthening law and decorum, stupefies conscience.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Laziness grows on people; it begins in cobwebs and ends in iron chains

Sir Fowell Buxton, 1st Baronet

Of what use were wings to a man fast bound in chains of iron?

Adelbert von Chamisso

Just as iron which is not used grows rusty, and water putrefies and freezes in the cold, so the mind of which no use is made is spoilt.

Leonardo da Vinci

A determined soul will do more with a rusty monkey wrench than a loafer will accomplish with all the tools in a machine shop.

Robert Hughes

Love with attachment consists of waves of emotion, usually creating invisible iron chains.

S. N. Goenka

Liberty for all; chains for none.

Frederick Douglass

Men will shop, but they only shop when they need something. Women shop with passion and because it's enjoyable, and for some, it's even entertainment. All you have to do is step into a mall and see how many stores are geared towards men and how many are geared towards women, and you'll get the picture.

Brian Lee

I prefer liberty to chains of diamonds.

Mary Wortley Montagu

At Genoa, the word Liberty may be read over the front of the prisons and on the chains of the galley-slaves. This application of the device is good and just. It is indeed only malefactors of all estates who prevent the citizen from being free. In the country in which all such men were in the galleys, the most perfect liberty would be enjoyed.
