>“Our independence comes from within. A slave can 
>have keen eyesight, excellent mobility, and 
>superb reading skills­and still be a slave. We 
>are achieving freedom and independence in the 
>only way that really counts­in rising 
>self-respect, growing self-confidence, and the 
>will and the ability to make choices.”
