"It is my living sentiment, and by the blessing of God it shall be my dying sentiment, independence now and independence forever."
Daniel Webster
"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
"A desire to resist oppression is implanted in the nature of man."
Tacitus
"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
Winston Churchill
"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
"Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better."
Albert Camus
"No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation."
Douglas MacArthur
"Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one."
Henry Mencken
"People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought, which they avoid."
Soren Aabye Kierkegaard
"Better to die on your feet than live on your knees."
Author Unknown
"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it."
Thomas Paine
"If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom."
Dwight Eisenhower
"Freedom is not something that anybody can be given; freedom is something people take and people are as free as they want to be."
James Baldwin
"The very idea of freedom presupposes some objective moral law which overarches rulers and ruled alike. Subjectivism about values is eternally incompatible with democracy. We and our rulers are of one kind only so long as we are subject to one law. But if there is no Law of Nature, the ethos of any society is the creation of its rulers, educators and conditioners; and every creator stands above and outside his own creation."
C.S. Lewis
"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
"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
"The history of free men is never really written by chance but by choice -- their choice."
Dwight Eisenhower
"Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves."
Abraham Lincoln
"Freedom is not something that anybody can be given; freedom is something people take and people are as free as they want to be."
James Baldwin
"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."
Thomas Jefferson
