    The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools. Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good. Ecclesiastes 9:17,18.) Wisdom giveth life to them that have it.

    Freedom is a continual developing process.  Yah, responsible disciplined behavior does open boundary's.  But, nevertheless, their are always boundaries in the distance.  We must learn to earn our way overcoming the environment's obstacles with a dignified and graceful manner.
