No one is free who does not lord over himself.

Summary

This quote suggests that true freedom cannot be achieved unless an individual has control over themselves. It implies that being free involves having the ability to govern and discipline one's own actions, thoughts, and desires. Without the capacity to exercise self-control and make responsible decisions, a person remains enslaved by their own impulses and external influences. To truly experience freedom, one must take charge of their own choices and become the master of their own lives.
