"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
"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
"To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it."
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
"The
Declaration of Independence
dogmatically bases all rights on the fact that God created all men equal; and it is right; for if they were not created equal, they were certainly evolved unequal. There is no basis for democracy except in a dogma about the divine origin of man."
GK Chesterton
"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
"Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one."
Henry Mencken
"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 hammered out on the anvil of discussion, dissent, and debate."
Hubert H. Humphrey
"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
"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
"If you wanna be free, you've gotta accept everything."
Jason Mechalek
"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
"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
"A right delayed is a right denied."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed."
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.
"Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself."
Milton Friedman
"A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights."
Napoleon Bonaparte
"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
