Quote of the day by Jean-Jacques Rousseau , “Freedom is the power to choose our own chains,” looks at the link between liberty and responsibility. The quote does not describe freedom as a life without rules. It points to the choices people make when they accept duties, relationships, careers, laws and commitments. A person may have limits in life, but those limits can have a different meaning when they are chosen. Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a Swiss-born philosopher, writer and political theorist whose ideas influenced political and ethical thought. His work also examined society, human nature, education, culture and liberty.
