I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences
attending too much liberty than to those attending
too small a degree of it.
-- Thomas

hold these truths to be self-evident,--that
all men are created equal; that they are endowed
by their Creator with certain inalienable rights;
that among these are Life, Liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness.
-- Thomas
Jefferson

is a never-ending process. Freedom is never
really won -- you earn it and win it in every

When
we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from
every village and every hamlet, from every state
and every city, we will be able to speed up
that day when all of God's children, black men
and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants
and Catholics, will be able to join hands and
sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual,
'Free at last! free at last! Thank God Almighty,
we are free at last!'
-- Martin Luther
King, Jr.
“If
the cruelties of slavery could not stop us,
the opposition we now face will surely fail.
Because the goal of America is freedom, abused
and scorned tho' we may be, our destiny is tied
up with America's destiny.”
-- Martin Luther
King, Jr.

we speak freely.

the
light of freedom cannot be extinguished as long
as it is inside of us.

freedom
stirs the human heart and fear stills it.

That
is the America which stands not in pursuit of
an axis of evil, but which is itself at the
axis of hope and faith and peace and freedom.
-- Dennis Kucinich

use your freedom to promote ours."

from fear.

Those
who deny freedom to others deserve it not for
themselves.
-- Abraham Lincoln

“The
end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but
to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all
the states of created beings capable of law,
where there is no law, there is no freedom.”
-- John Locke
|

Real
freedom is creative, proactive, and will take
me into new territories. I am not free if my
freedom is predicated on reacting to my past.

*
Running
away will never make you free.
-- Kenny
Loggins

Freedom
is the right to choose: the right to create for oneself
the alternatives of choice. Without the possibility
of choice and the exercise of choice a man is not
a man but a member, an instrument, a thing.
-- Archibald MacLeish
|
|
*
"I stand for freedom of expression, doing what
you believe in, and going after your dreams."
--
Madonna

You
cannot separate peace from freedom because no one
can be at peace unless he has his freedom.

What
our country deserves from everyone who enjoys its
fruits and freedoms is a little more gratitude – and
a lot less greed.

yourselves
from mental slavery.
None but ourselves
can free our minds.
Won't you help to sing
The songs of freedom?”

Constitution is a realistic document of freedom
only because of several corrective amendments.
Those amendments speak to a sense of decency
and fairness that I and other Blacks cherish.”
-- Thurgood
Marshall

*
All
men are by nature born equally free and independent.
-- George Mason
|
Whatever
the immediate gains and losses, the dangers to our
safety arising from political suppression are always
greater than the dangers to the safety resulting from
political freedom. Suppression is always foolish.
-- Neil A. McDonald
|
*
Freedom
is for everyone, whatever lifestyle they choose,
as long as it's peaceful and honest
-- Russell Means
I
find freedom to be the most important issue
facing any human being today, because without
freedom, then life is pointless. The more dependent
you become on centralized power, the more easily
you are lead around.
-- Russell Means
|

Being
an Indian means living with the land. And the only
way we'll be able to do that is to gain our freedom.
-- Russell Means
The
only way you can be free is to know is that you are
worthwhile as a distinct human being.
-- Russell Means
*
You
can't talk about the environment, you can't talk about
political correctness, affirmative action and all
the other innumerable things that freedom is about,
unless you have a free society based upon the integrity
of the individual. If you have a responsible society,
these other issues will not come up in a responsible
society, and that is what freedom is all about.
-- Russell Means
There
never was a war that was not inward; I must fight
till I have conquered in myself what causes war.
-- Marianne Moore

We
cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it
at home.
-- Edward R.
Murrow
"If
we confuse dissent with disloyalty — if we deny
the right of the individual to be wrong, unpopular,
eccentric or unorthodox — if we deny the essence
of racial equality then hundreds of millions
in Asia and Africa who are shopping about for
a new allegiance will conclude that we are concerned
to defend a myth and our present privileged
status. Every act that denies or limits the
freedom of the individual in this country costs
us the. . . confidence of men and women who
aspire to that freedom and independence of which
we speak and for which our ancestors fought."
-- Edward R.
Murrow
