"Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it."
Thomas Paine
"If society fits you comfortably enough, you call it freedom."
Robert Frost
"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
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
"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
"To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it."
GK Chesterton
"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
"History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid."
Dwight Eisenhower
"A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both."
Dwight Eisenhower
"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
"A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights."
Napoleon Bonaparte
"The history of free men is never really written by chance but by choice -- their choice."
Dwight Eisenhower
"People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought, which they avoid."
Soren Aabye Kierkegaard
"A right delayed is a right denied."
Martin Luther King Jr.
