Quote DB :: Freedom Search in this category Liberty (38) Sponsored Links Quote Author Rating Rate "My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." John F. Kennedy "By our efforts, we have lit a fire as well--a fire in the minds of men. It warms those who feel its power, it burns those who fight its progress, and one day this untamed fire of freedom will reach the darkest corners of our world." George W. Bush "There is only one force of history that can break the reign of hatred and resentment, and expose the pretensions of tyrants, and reward the hopes of the decent and tolerant, and that is the force of human freedom." George W. Bush "A desire to resist oppression is implanted in the nature of man." Tacitus "Arise and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time." Winston Churchill "Americans are so enamored of equality, they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom." Alexis de Tocqueville "I should have loved freedom, I believe, at all times, but in the time in which we live I am ready to worship it." Alexis de Tocqueville "If freedom is short of weapons, we must compensate with willpower." Adolf Hitler "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." Thomas Jefferson "Freedom is not America's gift to the world, it is the Almighty God's gift to every man and woman in this world." George W. Bush "Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature." Benjamin Franklin "The jaws of power are always open to devour, and her arm is always stretched out, if possible, to destroy the freedom of thinking, speaking, and writing." John Adams "If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." Samuel Adams "When an American says that he loves his country, he means not only that he loves the New England hills, the prairies glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains, the great mountains, and the sea. He means that he loves an inner air, an inner light in which freedom lives and in which a man can draw the breath of self-respect." Adlai Stevenson "Just as war is freedom's cost, disagreement is freedom's privilege." Bill Clinton "Freedom is hammered out on the anvil of discussion, dissent, and debate." Hubert H. Humphrey "The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all." Henry Mencken "Freedom is the right to question and change the established way of doing things. It is the continuous revolution of the marketplace. It is the understanding that allows us to recognize shortcomings and seek solutions." Ronald Reagan "Freedom is the recognition that no single person, no single authority or government has a monopoly on the truth, but that every individual life is infinitely precious, that every one of us put in this world has been put there for a reason and has something to offer." Ronald Reagan "Our natural, inalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation from government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment."
