Same quote came to mind, just couldn’t remember the author. Thanks.
Chesterton is about one of the most quotable guys out there. He is the one that came up with this:
“The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.”
Oh, worth perusing:
