If
we lose our title of "land of the free," what have we
got?
-- Helen Thomas

The
essence of all slavery consists in taking the product
of another's labor by force. It is immaterial whether
this force be founded upon ownership of the slave
or ownership of the money that he must get to live.
-- Leo Tolstoy

"If
you are tired, keep going; if you are scared,
keep going; if you are hungry; keep going; if
you want to taste freedom, keep going."
-- Harriet Tubman

"We
must not allow ourselves to become like the system
we oppose. We cannot afford to use methods of which
we will be ashamed when we look back, when we say,
'...we shouldn't have done that.' We must remember,
my friends, that we have been given a wonderful
cause. The cause of freedom! And you and I must
be those who will walk with heads held high. We
will say, 'We used methods that can stand the harsh
scrutiny of history.'
-- Archbishop Desmond

In
America, through pressure of conformity, there
is freedom of choice, but nothing to choose
from.
-- Peter Ustinov

Democracy
is constructed like an edifice, freedom by freedom,
right by right, until it reaches its snapping point.
-- Abdoulaye Wade

"For
in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle;
and one faces down fears of today so that those
of tomorrow might be engaged.
~Alice Walker

The
shallow consider liberty a release from all law,
from every constraint. The wise see in it, on the
contrary, the potent Law of Laws.
-- Walt Whitman

There
is much to be done, there is much that can be done…
one person of integrity can make a difference, a
difference of life and death. As long as one dissident
is in prison, our freedom will not be true. As long
as one child is hungry, our lives will be filled
with anguish and shame. What all these victims need
above all is to know that they are not alone; that
we are not forgetting them, that when their voices
are stifled we shall lend them ours, that while
their freedom depends on ours, the quality of our
freedom depends on theirs.
-- Elie Wiesel

Freedom
is an indivisible word. If we want to enjoy it,
and fight for it, we must be prepared to extend
it to everyone, whether they are rich or poor,
whether they agree with us or not, no matter what
their race or the color of their skin.
-- Wendell Wilkie
Whenever
we take away the liberties of those whom we hate
we are opening the way to loss of liberty for
those we love.
-- Wendell Wilkie
When
we talk of freedom and opportunity for all nations,
the mocking paradoxes in our own society become
so clear they can no longer be ignored.
-- Wendell Wilkie

A
free America... means just this: individual
freedom for all, rich or poor, or else this
system of government we call democracy is only
an expedient to enslave man to the machine and
make him like it.
-- Frank Lloyd
Wright

True
independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's
right.
-- Brigham Young
