Freedom


 "Let us unite them together in one supreme power which shall govern us all according to wise laws, protect us and defend all members of the association, repulse common enemies, and maintain us in everlasting concord... All ran towards their chains believing that they were securing their liberty, for although they had reason enough to discern the advantages of a civil order, they did not have the experience enough to foresee the dangers."
  Jean-Jacques Rousseau

 "The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation – enlightened as it is – if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men." -Samuel Adams

 "We are determined that before the sun sets on this terrible struggle, our flag will be recognized throughout the world as a symbol of freedom on the one hand and of overwhelming force on the other."
  General George Catlett Marshall

 "What is liberty without...virtue? It is...madness, without restraint.
Men are qualified for liberty in exact proportion to their disposition
to put moral chains upon their own appetites."
  Edmund Burke

 (Liberty) is indeed little less than a name, where the Government is too feeble to withstand the enterprises of faction, to confine each member of society within the limits prescribed by the law, and to maintain all in the secure and tranquil enjoyme
  George Washington

 A country cannot subsist well without liberty, nor liberty without virtue.
  Jean-Jacques Rousseau

 A forest bird never wants a cage.
  Henrik Ibsen

 A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite
  George Washington

 A great wave of oppressive tyranny isn't going to strike, but rather a slow seepage of oppressive laws and regulations from within will sink the American dream of liberty

 A man is morally free when, in full possession of his living humanity, he judges the world, and judges other men, with uncompromising sincerity.
  George Santayana

 A man should never put on his best trousers when he goes out to battle for freedom and truth
  Henrik Ibsen

 A nation may lose its liberties in a day and not miss them in a century.
  Charles de Montesquieu

 A rioter with a Molotov cocktail in his hands is not fighting for civil rights any more than a Klansman... They are both... lawbreakers, destroyers of constitutional rights and liberties and ultimately destroyers of a free America.

 A well-governed appetite is a great part of liberty
  Seneca

 Absolute liberty is absence of restraint; responsibility is restraint; therefore, the ideally free individual is responsible to himself
  Henry Brooks Adams
