“Obedience is detachment from the self. This is the most radical detachment of all. But what is the self? The self is the principle of reason and responsibility in us. It is the root of freedom, it is what makes us men.”
Bede Griffiths
“He who cannot obey himself will be commanded. That is the nature of living creatures.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

Oscar Wilde
“He that cannot obey, cannot command.”
Benjamin Franklin
“Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God.”
“The purpose of problems is to push you toward obedience to God's laws, which are exact and cannot be changed. We have the free will to obey them or disobey them. Obedience will bring harmony, disobedience will bring you more problems.”
Peace Pilgrim
“Obedience to our Heavenly Father starts with our loving service to a needy brother.”
William Arthur Ward
