Die Gedanken sind frei, wer kann sie erraten,
sie fliegen vorbei wie nächtliche Schatten.
Kein Mensch kann sie wissen, kein Jäger sie schießen
mit Pulver und Blei: Die Gedanken sind frei!

(Thoughts are free, who can guess them?
They fly by like nocturnal shadows.
No person can know them, no hunter can shoot them
with powder and lead: Thoughts are free!)

> "Die Gedanken sind frei..." (Thoughts are free)

Interesting background to those words -- Wikipedia. Of course, it's also good to be able to express thoughts when young -- whether wisely or not -- and not be condemned for the rest of one's life for them.
