Quote by William Cowper, The Task. Book v

He is the freeman whom the truth makes free.

He is the freeman whom the truth makes free.

Summary

This quote implies that true freedom is not achieved through physical or external circumstances, but through seeking and embracing the truth. It suggests that those who have a deep understanding of what is true are truly liberated, as their actions and decisions are guided by this knowledge. In other words, being a truly free person means being honest with oneself and others, valuing truth over falsehood, and constantly seeking knowledge and understanding. True freedom is therefore an inner state of enlightenment rather than an external condition.
