I call that mind free1
that sets no bounds to love1
captured in a narrow creed.2
I call that mind free
Helping ourselves to see3
eternal fire, pure love.4
I call that mind free
that sets no bounds to love.

Trigger 5: Cento #1 lines from famous speeches (Selected Unitarian Universalists)
............
"I call that mind free which guards its intellectual rights and powers, which
* does not content itself with a passive or hereditary faith,
* opens itself to receive new truth as an angel from heaven,
* is not the creature of accidental impulse,
* does not cower to human opinion,
* which resists the bondage of habit,
* sets no bounds to its love,
* delights in virtue and sympathizes with suffering,
* casts out all fear save that of wrongdoing."
- William Ellery Channing
