"History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid."
Dwight Eisenhower
"Most modern freedom is at root fear. It is not so much that we are too bold to endure rules; it is rather that we are too timid to endure responsibilities."
GK Chesterton
"The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog."
GK Chesterton
"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
"A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights."
Napoleon Bonaparte
"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."
Ronald Reagan
"Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"If society fits you comfortably enough, you call it freedom."
Robert Frost
"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
"Rome remained free for four hundred years and Sparta eight hundred, although their citizens were armed all that time; but many other states that have been disarmed have lost their liberties in less than forty years."
Nicolo Machiavelli
"To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it."
GK Chesterton
"A right delayed is a right denied."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"From the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire, let freedom ring. From the mighty mountains of New York, let freedom ring. From the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania, let freedom ring. But not only that: Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!"
Patrick Henry
"A free society is one where it is safe to be unpopular."
Adlai Stevenson
"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
"A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both."
Dwight Eisenhower
"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
"He that is kind is free, though he is a slave; he that is evil is a slave, though he be a king."
Saint Augustine
"Arise and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time."
Winston Churchill
