If there’s one observation that rings true in today’s changing world, it is that freedom and peace go hand in hand.
Most of us are imprisoned by something. We’re living in darkness until something flips on the switch.
Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.
Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it.
Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose – and commit myself to – what is best for me.
For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.
Oppressed people cannot remain oppressed forever. The yearning for freedom eventually manifests itself.
Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
