For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

Home is a place not only of strong affections, but of entire unreserved; it is life's undress rehearsal, its backroom, its dressing room, from which we go forth to more careful and guarded intercourse, leaving behind...cast-off and everyday clothing.

He cast off his friends as a huntsman his pack, for he knew when he pleased he could whistle them back.

Proverbs 29:18:
Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed are those who heed wisdom's instruction.
(NIV)
Where there is no vision [no redemptive revelation of God], the people perish; but he who keeps the law [of God, which includes that of man]--blessed (happy, fortunate, and enviable) is he. [I Sam. 3:1; Amos 8:11, 12.](AMP)
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
(KJV)
