— Timothy Cardinal Dolan (Benediction at the 2012 Republican Convention)
“But in order to love, you must be free…
…for to love is to give your self to someone or something freely, completely, unconditionally, and without reservation. … Yet to give your self—to another person, to an endeavor, or to God—you must first possess your self. This possession of self is freedom. It is a prerequisite for love, and is attained only through discipline.”
