| Natalie Dormer | When I turn on the news in Paris, the way Syria is covered is different from the way it is covered in Washington, D.C., or London.

Transforming fear into freedom - how great is that? | 101 |
| Teresa Heinz | I have a very personal feeling about how special America is, and I know how precious freedom is.

| Thomas Campbell | The patriot's blood is the seed of Freedom's tree. | 101 |

But after a while, you're so wounded that if you continue thinking about Iran, it will kill you. | 101 |
| Hart Crane | And I have been able to give freedom and life which was acknowledged in the ecstasy of walking hand in hand across the most beautiful bridge of the world, the cables enclosing us and pulling us upward in such a dance as I have never walked and never can walk with another. | 101 |

| Karl Ove Knausgaard | When I look back at that freedom of childhood, which is in a way infinite, and at all the joy and the intense happiness, now lost, I sometimes think that childhood is where the real meaning of life is located, and that we, adults, are its servants - that that's our purpose. | 101 |
| Kathleen Battle | I hear music that comes out of need, out of grief, sorrow, suffering and out of overcoming these things, as well. That journey to freedom still goes on today.

I feel like a lot of women, or a lot of feminists, joke about taking to the sea or living alone in a cottage as this kind of fun freedom. | 101 |
| Michael Burgess | In times such as these, people should recognize that evil knows no borders, knows no limits and knows no compassion. Those around the globe that value freedom must continue to persevere even in the darkest of times. | 101 |
| Mike Fitzpatrick | The freedom to connect to the world anywhere at anytime brings with it the threat of unscrupulous predators and criminals who mask their activities with the anonymity the Internet provides to its users. | 101 |
| Nerlens Noel | I think I'm mostly looking forward to the college life. I'm looking forward to more freedom. Here everything is really structured and scheduled, but in college you've got to be more responsible and you can get things done on your own time. I'm really looking forward to that. | 101 |
| Ramez Naam | We've seen over time that countries that have the best economic growth are those that have good governance, and good governance comes from freedom of communication.

| Connie Mack IV | Freedom is the core of all human progress. It believes that nothing's given to us, but if you're willing to work hard. If you're willing to compete, the American dream is there for you. | 101 |
| Don Nickles | And the whole world, the whole world that believes in freedom, whether you're talking about personal freedom, economic freedom, religious freedom, they look to the United States for leadership; and you're part of that leadership. | 101 |
| Gary Burton | Certainly one of the more common experiences in the jazz field is discovering someone new. Improvising musicians are capable of being musical travelers, voyagers. We want to join in on whatever we hear. There is a freedom to wander the musical landscape. | 101 |
| Geoff Hoon | I joined the Labour party because I believed in equality, in freedom of speech and in tolerance, compassion and understanding for people, irrespective of their background and views. In whatever I decide to do in the future I will hold to those principles. | 101 |
| Gresham Barrett | Younger workers should have more freedom to build their retirement nest egg. | 101 |
| Jonathan Zittrain | The Internet's distinct configuration may have facilitated anonymous threats, copyright infringement, and cyberattacks, but it has also kindled the flame of freedom in ways that the framers of the American constitution would appreciate - the Federalist papers were famously authored pseudonymously. | 101 |
| Jose Maria Aznar | Without economic development, any potential for political openness and freedom will be questionable. | 101 |

| Lisa Murkowski | Freedom comes from strength and self-reliance. | 101 |
| Mark Knopfler | I don't like definitions, but if there is a definition of freedom, it would be when you have control over your reality to transform it, to change it, rather than having it imposed upon you. You can't really ask for more than. | 101 |
| Mary Chapin Carpenter | As far as feeling freedom in my career now versus five years ago... I think if I feel any more free it's simply because of the experiences that I've had, and the wisdom I've accumulated from that time. | 101 |

| Sylvester McCoy | Now I'm old... maybe I'm still an eccentric hippie. There's a wonderful freedom in the eccentricity - you can go places, you can be wacky, and you don't have to be constrained. I think that's why people are eccentric - eccentricity is a weapon... and it's great! | 101 |
| Ted Strickland | Our nation was built by pioneers - pioneers who accepted untold risks in pursuit of freedom, not by pioneers seeking offshore profits at the expense of American workers here at home. | 101 |
| Thomas Francis Meagher | I now bid farewell to the country of my birth - of my passions - of my death; a country whose misfortunes have invoked my sympathies - whose factions I sought to quell - whose intelligence I prompted to a lofty aim - whose freedom has been my fatal dream. | 101 |
| Trieste Kelly Dunn | I definitely want to continue working in independent films - and big budget stuff as well - but there's a freedom you have when you're not getting paid.

| Alice Sebold | I wanted to be the moron of the family, because morons seemed to have more fun, more freedom and more personality. | 101 |

| Chris Bell | The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Don't store unnecessary data, keep an eye on what's happening, and don't take unnecessary risks. | 101 |
| Daniel Okrent | That the Op-Ed page is very important in readers' and the nation's perception of the Times, the perception of its editorial positions, and of its implicit editorial positions as expressed by the publisher's choice of people who are given the freedom to write opinion columns. | 101 |
| George Sutherland | For the saddest epitaph which can be carved in memory of a vanished freedom is that it was lost because its possessors failed to stretch forth a saving hand while there was still time. | 101 |

| Roz Savage | A lot of people feel trapped by circumstance, by the expectations of others or the perception that they need a lot of money. They would like to have a different direction in their lives, but they're held back by fear or desires that are incompatible with that freedom. | 101 |
| Adam Hughes | Color always vexed me because I would fight with the media I was using. I love coloring in Photoshop, and it's freed me to pursue ideas and techniques I wouldn't have otherwise attempted. Since I get to take an assignment from concept to final execution, I have more freedom in my idea-making processes. | 101 |
| Alan Wilson | Whenever regulation increases, personal freedom decreases. | 101 |

| John Warner | Tragically, the effort to make America and the world safer and to defend freedom around the world is not without an enormous cost to this Nation in terms primarily of lost lives and those who bear the scars and the wounds of war, and their families who must bear these losses. | 101 |

| Bob Dylan | A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom. | 102 |
| Jim Morrison | Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is. | 102 |

| Ellen G. White | I had often sought for the peace there is in Christ, but I could not seem to find the freedom I desired. A terrible sadness rested on my heart. I could not think of anything I had done to cause me to feel sad; but it seemed to me that I was not good enough to enter Heaven, that such a thing would be altogether too much for me to expect. | 102 |
| Eric Idle | At least in America, you have freedom of speech, which is a good thing. It's just a question of whether you're allowed to use it on 'Fox News'. | 102 |
| George Foreman | I love the pigeons. I just raise them, period, and feed them. Pigeons go away, and they always come back. You get a touch of freedom, and then they are free to come back to you. I love the idea of pigeons. | 102 |
| Harry Browne | The communitarians may say you've been enjoying too much individual freedom, and that you must give up some of that for the benefit of the community. But they really mean that they want more power over your life - to force you to subsidize, obey and conform to their choices. | 102 |
| Ian Smith | Freedom. And Justice. If you have those two, it covers everything. You must stick to those principles and have the courage of your convictions. | 102 |
| Jean-Claude Van Damme | But on average, I go to the gym about four or five times a week. Today, I'm so experienced in training - I'm actually listening to my body now. My body needs freedom. When I train I create serenity and I produce oxygen in my blood. It helps me to think better and relax. By training, you accentuate the problem. | 102 |
| Kirk Cameron | I believe that freedom of speech and freedom of religion go hand-in-hand in America. | 102 |
| Lord Acton | Liberty is not the power of doing what we like, but the right to do what we ought. | 102 |
| Lucy Stone | But I do believe that a woman's truest place is in a home, with a husband and with children, and with large freedom, pecuniary freedom, personal freedom, and the right to vote. | 102 |
| Nancy Pearcey | The White House should always be a friend to American freedom. | 102 |
| Natasha Lyonne | As wild as I was, when the cops show up, and suddenly you're being handcuffed, it's so deeply shocking and terrifying, the loss of freedom. | 102 |
| Nick Nolte | You have to struggle a bit, hustle a little, and be willing to go bankrupt. Once you're willing to do that, everything opens up and you get the freedom. My joke is that next year, I'll make the first film that costs zero dollars. | 102 |
| Os Guinness | The rewards of freedom are always sweet, but its demands are stern, for at its heart is the paradox that the greatest enemy of freedom is freedom. | 102 |
| Patrick Henry | Perfect freedom is as necessary to the health and vigor of commerce as it is to the health and vigor of citizenship. | 102 |
| Robert Green Ingersoll | What light is to the eyes - what air is to the lungs - what love is to the heart, liberty is to the soul of man. | 102 |
| Sandra Cisneros | I don't see any kind of mirror of power, male power, that is, as a form of liberation. I don't believe in an eye for an eye. I don't believe this is truly freedom. | 102 |
| Suze Orman | A big part of financial freedom is having your heart and mind free from worry about the what-ifs of life. | 102 |
| Thurgood Marshall | Today's Constitution is a realistic document of freedom only because of several corrective amendments. Those amendments speak to a sense of decency and fairness that I and other Blacks cherish. | 102 |
| Tracy Morgan | We have freedom of speech, but you got to watch what you say. | 102 |
| Venkatraman Ramakrishnan | I think it's important to give young people the freedom to follow their ideas and pursue their interests. | 102 |
| Veronica Webb | One of the things that fascinated me about modeling was that you had the freedom to look any way you wanted. | 102 |
| Virginia Foxx | The American flag is the most recognized symbol of freedom and democracy in the world. | 102 |
| William Lloyd Garrison | Enslave the liberty of but one human being and the liberties of the world are put in peril. | 102 |
| Yves Rossy | I was a pilot and flying hang gliders, paragliders, aerobatics airplanes, and then I discovered skydiving. Free fall. Free. With nothing around you, just a parachute on your back. And you go down. But you don't feel like you're going down. Total freedom. | 102 |
| Zane Grey | I need this wild life, this freedom. | 102 |
| Brad Thor | I live in America. I have the right to write whatever I want. And it's equaled by another right just as powerful: the right not to read it. Freedom of speech includes the freedom to offend people. | 102 |
| Damien Rice | A kite needs to be tied down in order to fly. I learned how important restrictions can sometimes be in order to experience freedom. | 102 |
| Demi Moore | Not caring more about what other people think than what you think. That's freedom. | 102 |
| Demosthenes | Every dictator is an enemy of freedom, an opponent of law. | 102 |
| Emperor Hirohito | I discovered freedom for the first time in England. | 102 |
| Evan Bayh | America is stronger than ever. We will forever remember those we lost on September 11, 2001. In honoring their memory, we will remain true to our commitment to freedom and democracy. | 102 |
| Flora Lewis | Democracy may have arisen in the West as the way of striving for the universal aspiration to dignity and freedom, but it isn't alien to the underlying concepts that infuse religion and moral philosophy everywhere. | 102 |
| Frank Frazetta | I hope my work has inspired young artists. I have always tried to maintain my freedom as an artist and I feel it is one of the main reasons I have been successful. | 102 |
| Georg Cantor | The essence of mathematics lies in its freedom. | 102 |
| Herbert Marcuse | The range of choice open to the individual is not the decisive factor in determining the degree of human freedom, but what can be chosen and what is chosen by the individual. | 102 |
| John O'Donohue | The joyful heart sees and reads the world with a sense of freedom and graciousness. | 102 |
| Jorge Ramos | The United States gave me opportunities that my country of origin could not: freedom of the press and complete freedom of expression. | 102 |
| Katarina Witt | Sometimes I even now feel like a stranger in my country. But I knew there would be problems because I had seen the world as a skater. And now? A lot of people in eastern Germany have lost jobs, rents went up, food costs went up, unemployment went to 20 percent. Freedom is good, but it is not easy. | 102 |
| Michel Onfray | I am a sworn atheist and therefore from my point of view the Talmud or the Koran don't constitute works of political philosophy but rather writings that stand in utter contradiction to concepts like logic, freedom, feminism, secularism, brotherhood - which are my ideals. | 102 |
| Neil Strauss | When the Internet first came into public use, it was hailed as a liberation from conformity, a floating world ruled by passion, creativity, innovation and freedom of information. When it was hijacked first by advertising and then by commerce, it seemed like it had been fully co-opted and brought into line with human greed and ambition. | 102 |
| Rick Santorum | Watching President Obama apologize last week for America's arrogance - before a French audience that owes its freedom to the sacrifices of Americans - helped convince me that he has a deep-seated antipathy toward American values and traditions. | 102 |
| Robert Dale Owen | It is within your power at this very moment not only to consumate an act of enlightened statesmanship, but, as the instrument of the Almighty, to restore to freedom a race of men. | 102 |
| Steven Curtis Chapman | When I go to Africa and spend more time there with people who are the least of the least, those in desperate situations, I am broken by it. But I also find people with so much more joy and freedom living with nothing than I see walking down the streets of my own community here in Tennessee. | 102 |
| Tammy Baldwin | Our constitutional liberties shall not be sacrificed in our search for greater security, for that is what our enemies and all enemies of freedom and democracy hope to achieve. | 102 |
| Vic Snyder | The 1957 crisis in Little Rock, brought about by the desegregation of Little Rock Central High School, was a huge part of the march toward freedom and opportunity in America. | 102 |
| Warren E. Burger | Free speech carries with it some freedom to listen. | 102 |
| William Lyon Phelps | If happiness truly consisted in physical ease and freedom from care, then the happiest individual would not be either a man or a woman; it would be, I think, an American cow. | 102 |
| Ben Nelson | We can take full comfort in realizing the continuing strength of our nation. America's lands remain radiantly rich with diversity, and freedom still reigns. | 102 |
| Ernest Istook | Our economic freedom is founded on individual property rights; government should never be permitted to take those away. | 102 |
| Horst Koehler | Responsibility and respect of others and their religious beliefs are also part of freedom. | 102 |
| Kathleen Battle | In spirituals, the talk of heaven and deliverance was code for a better life. 'Crossing the River Jordan' was code, of course, for escaping to freedom. | 102 |
| Matt McGorry | A place of freedom is the best place to have the most creativity. | 102 |
| Mike Fitzpatrick | The American flag is the symbol of our freedom, national pride and history. | 102 |
| Mike Quigley | Protection of religious freedom means considering the faiths and beliefs of everyone involved. | 102 |
| Peter Kropotkin | America is just the country that how all the written guarantees in the world for freedom are no protection against tyranny and oppression of the worst kind. There the politician has come to be looked upon as the very scum of society. | 102 |
| Richard Trumka | Time after time we're told corporations should have freedom from pesky job safety regulations, environmental protections and labor standards - giving working people the freedom to be crushed in collapsing mines, choke on filthy air and get paid too little to live on. | 102 |
| Ronald Kessler | Because of the terrorist threat, the FBI and CIA have become as important as the military in preserving our freedom. Yet while thanking our military is standard practice in American life, no one thinks of thanking the FBI, the CIA, or the rest of the intelligence community for keeping us safe since 9/11. | 102 |
| Kay Rala Xanana Gusmao | Freedom goes hand-in-hand with mutual respect. | 102 |
| Kurt Huber | A state that suppresses all freedom of speech, and which by imposing the most terrible punishments, treats each and every attempt at criticism, however morally justified, and every suggestion for improvement as plotting to high treason, is a state that breaks an unwritten law. | 102 |
| Richard Dreyfuss | Civility is not not saying negative or harsh things. It is not the absence of critical analysis. It is the manner in which we are sharing this territorial freedom of political discussion. If our discourse is yelled and screamed and interrupted and patronized, that's uncivil. | 102 |
| Chris Patten | I believe in trying to get a balance between individual freedom on the one hand and social responsibility on the other. | 102 |
| Gerry Spence | The function of the law is not to provide justice or to preserve freedom. The function of the law is to keep those who hold power, in power. | 102 |
| Morning Star | I would rather die in freedom on my way back home than starve to death here. | 102 |
| Mohammed Morsi | We all have to announce our full solidarity with the struggle of those seeking freedom and justice in Syria, and translate this sympathy into a clear political vision that supports a peaceful transition to a democratic system of rule that reflects the demands of the Syrian people for freedom. | 102 |
| Ryan McGinley | My photographs are a celebration of life, fun and the beautiful. They are a world that doesn't exist. A fantasy. Freedom is real. There are no rules. The life I wish I was living. | 102 |
| Auberon Herbert | You will not make a man wiser by taking freedom of action from him. A man can only learn when he is free to act. | 102 |
| Alan Keyes | When we, through our educational culture, through the media, through the entertainment culture, give our children the impression that human beings cannot control their passions, we are telling them, in effect, that human beings cannot be trusted with freedom. | 102 |
| Christine O'Donnell | Will they attack us? Yes. Will they smear our backgrounds and distort our records? Undoubtedly. Will they lie about us, harass our families, namecall to try to intimidate us? They will. There's nothing safe about it. But is it worth it? Well, let me ask you. Is freedom worth it? Is America worth it? | 102 |
| Corliss Lamont | True freedom is the capacity for acting according to one's true character, to be altogether one's self, to be self-determined and not subject to outside coercion. | 102 |
| Jill McCorkle | By limiting or denying freedom of speech and expression, we take away a lot of potential. We take away thoughts and ideas before they even have the opportunity to hatch. We build a world around negatives - you can't say, think, or do this or that. | 102 |
| Margaret Haddix | It's just so much fun to make up characters, situations, and everything else about a story. I have so much freedom and flexibility to do whatever I want. | 102 |
| Alexis Tsipras | There was a huge lack of freedom in communist regimes, but at least they had humanity at the center of their thinking. | 102 |
| Cliff Robertson | Look, we want freedom and we want liberty in this country. But we've also got to have the guts to stand up and run a tight ship in America. Morality is now a word that many people consider very square and outdated. But if we don't stand up for it, we deserve what we will get in the end - unprincipled anarchy. | 102 |
| A. Philip Randolph | Justice is never given; it is exacted and the struggle must be continuous for freedom is never a final fact, but a continuing evolving process to higher and higher levels of human, social, economic, political and religious relationship. | 102 |
| Anthony Eden | Man should be master of his environment, not its slave. That is what freedom means. | 102 |
| Arielle Dombasle | I'm a feminist, a 21st-century feminist - which means choice and freedom. One has the right to be both glamorous and ethically structured. | 102 |
| James Frey | There are no categories in contemporary art. There are no rules. Artists are given the freedom to make and create whatever they please and call it whatever they please. I identify with that system, or lack of system, much more than I do the landscape of contemporary publishing. | 102 |
| Robert G. Allen | Pursuing your passion is fulfilling and leads to financial freedom. | 102 |
| Audie Murphy | I Knew why I felt at home. The spirit of freedom was hovering over that play yard as it did all over France at that time. A country was free again. | 102 |
| Marsilio Ficino | Books that distribute things... with as daring a freedom as we use in dreams, put us on our feet again. | 102 |
| John Mortimer | The freedom to make a fortune on the stock exchange has been made to sound more alluring than freedom of speech. | 102 |
| Joko Widodo | It's now our responsibility to prove to ourselves, to other nations, and especially to our children and our grandchildren, that politics is full of fun; politics has some wisdom. Politics is freedom. | 102 |
| Abraham Lincoln | America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. | 103 |
| Barack Obama | We, the People, recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights; that our destinies are bound together; that a freedom which only asks what's in it for me, a freedom without a commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our founding ideals, and those who died in their defense. | 103 |
| George Washington | If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter. | 103 |
| Thomas Jefferson | Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits. | 103 |
| Albert Camus | Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better. | 103 |
| Arthur Schopenhauer | Satisfaction consists in freedom from pain, which is the positive element of life. | 103 |
| Edward Snowden | I can't in good conscience allow the U.S. government to destroy privacy, internet freedom and basic liberties for people around the world with this massive surveillance machine they're secretly building. | 103 |
| Harriet Tubman | I had crossed the line. I was free; but there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land. | 103 |
| Hunter S. Thompson | Freedom is something that dies unless it's used. | 103 |
| Jean-Paul Sartre | Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you. | 103 |
| Nikos Kazantzakis | I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free. | 103 |
| Alexis de Tocqueville | Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom. | 103 |
| Arnold J. Toynbee | As human beings, we are endowed with freedom of choice, and we cannot shuffle off our responsibility upon the shoulders of God or nature. We must shoulder it ourselves. It is our responsibility. | 103 |
| Barbara Boxer | We are all different. Yet we are all God's children. We are all united behind this country and the common cause of freedom, justice, fairness, and equality. That is what unites us. | 103 |
| Buenaventura Durruti | There are only two roads, victory for the working class, freedom, or victory for the fascists which means tyranny. Both combatants know what's in store for the loser. | 103 |
| Dmitri Mendeleev | I want you to have this feeling too - it is my moral responsibility to help you achieve this inner freedom. | 103 |
| Emmeline Pankhurst | Those men and women are fortunate who are born at a time when a great struggle for human freedom is in progress. It is an added good fortune to have parents who take a personal part in the great movements of their time. I am glad and thankful that this was my case. | 103 |
| Ernestine Rose | If you allow one single germ, one single seed of slavery to remain in the soil of America... that germ will spring up, that noxious weed will thrive, and again stifle the growth, wither the leaves, blast the flowers and poison the fair fruits of freedom. | 103 |
| Erwin McManus | I think we've overstated that God is the God who wants us to obey. Obedience is not the end game. Obedience is only our calling so that we can step into our freedom. | 103 |
| Friedrich August von Hayek | 'Emergencies' have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded. | 103 |
| Friedrich Engels | The proletariat uses the State not in the interests of freedom but in order to hold down its adversaries, and as soon as it becomes possible to speak of freedom the State as such ceases to exist. | 103 |
| George Soros | I chose America as my home because I value freedom and democracy, civil liberties and an open society. | 103 |
| Gordon Parks | I suffered evils, but without allowing them to rob me of the freedom to expand. | 103 |
| Henry Giroux | Collective freedom provides the basic conditions for people to narrate their own lives, hold power accountable, and embrace a capacious notion of human dignity. | 103 |
| Hideki Tojo | Thus, it was to seek true civilization and true justice for all the peoples of the world, and to view this as the destruction of personal freedom and respect is to be assailed by the hatred and emotion of war, and to make hasty judgments. | 103 |
| Hun Sen | Let me reassure that the Kingdom of Cambodia a country with independence, neutrality, peace, freedom, democracy and human rights as you all have seen, shall be existing with no end. | 103 |
| John Bolton | Well, I'm a libertarian conservative, so I believe in limited government/maximum individual freedom. | 103 |
| Karl Rahner | How often I have found that we grow to maturity not by doing what we like, but by doing what we should. How true it is that not every 'should' is a compulsion, and not every 'like' is a high morality and true freedom. | 103 |
| Kate Adie | But in the first Gulf war the United Kingdom was not under any threat from Iraq, and is still less so in the second one. Then there is no justification for obstructing freedom of information, particularly as nations have a right to know what their soldiers are being used for. | 103 |
| Louis Sullivan | Implicit in true freedom of spirit lies a proud and virile will. Such glorious power of free will to choose, envisages beneficent social responsibility as manifest and welcome. | 103 |
| Mikhail Bakunin | I am truly free only when all human beings, men and women, are equally free. The freedom of other men, far from negating or limiting my freedom, is, on the contrary, its necessary premise and confirmation. | 103 |
| Monica Crowley | I developed the concept of the Happy Warrior as a rallying cry for those of us who want to restore America to its great foundational principles: individual freedom, personal responsibility, fiscal restraint, and economic liberty. | 103 |
| Nellie Bly | On the wagon sped, and I, as well as my comrades, gave a despairing farewell glance at freedom as we came in sight of the long stone buildings. | 103 |
| Os Guinness | Negative freedom is freedom from - freedom from oppression, whether it's a colonial power or addiction to alcohol oppressing you. You need to be freed from negative freedom. Positive freedom is freedom for, freedom to be. And that's what's routinely ignored today. | 103 |
| Penn Jillette | Freedom means the freedom to be stupid, and that's what I want. | 103 |
| Philip Yancey | People who think they are free eventually end up slaves to their own desires, and those who give their freedom away to the only One you can trust with that freedom eventually get it back. | 103 |
| Rowan Atkinson | To criticize a person for their race is manifestly irrational and ridiculous, but to criticize their religion, that is a right. That is a freedom. | 103 |
| Shimon Peres | My heart goes out to the brave citizens of Syria, who each day risk and even sacrifice their lives to achieve freedom from a murderous regime. We in Israel welcome the historic struggle to forge democratic, peace-loving governments in our region. | 103 |
| Tacitus | Fear is not in the habit of speaking truth; when perfect sincerity is expected, perfect freedom must be allowed; nor has anyone who is apt to be angry when he hears the truth any cause to wonder that he does not hear it. | 103 |
| Ted Cruz | The American free market system is the greatest engine for prosperity and opportunity that the world has ever seen. Freedom works. | 103 |
| Thucydides | The secret to happiness is freedom... And the secret to freedom is courage. | 103 |
| Victor Davis Hanson | The fact is, beneath the hype, Iraqis will soon appreciate American help and idealism far more than French perfidy. It is never wrong to be on the side of freedom - never. | 103 |
| W. Somerset Maugham | Any nation that thinks more of its ease and comfort than its freedom will soon lose its freedom; and the ironical thing about it is that it will lose its ease and comfort too. | 103 |
| Wilhelm von Humboldt | Coercion may prevent many transgressions; but it robs even actions which are legal of a part of their beauty. Freedom may lead to many transgressions, but it lends even to vices a less ignoble form. | 103 |
| William Morris | I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few. | 103 |
| Wilma Rudolph | I loved the feeling of freedom in running, the fresh air, the feeling that the only person I'm competing with is me. | 103 |
| Yasser Arafat | I come bearing an olive branch in one hand, and the freedom fighter's gun in the other. Do not let the olive branch fall from my hand. | 103 |
| Zack Wamp | With freedom comes responsibility, and I can think of no responsibility greater than putting on a U.S military uniform and standing in the gap between an enemy threat and civilian life. | 103 |
| Abbie Hoffman | You measure a democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists. | 103 |
| Andre Leon Talley | The little black dress expresses a moment of freedom and individuality every time. | 103 |
| Bill Owens | Freedom is contagious. That's why despots fear it so much. | 103 |
| Boris Yeltsin | We don't appreciate what we have until it's gone. Freedom is like that. It's like air. When you have it, you don't notice it. | 103 |
| Charles Evans Hughes | When we lose the right to be different, we lose the privilege to be free. | 103 |
| Chuck Hagel | Our alliances should be understood as a means to expand our influence, not as a constraint on our power. The expansion of democracy and freedom in the world should be a shared interest and value with all nations. | 103 |
| Constance Baker Motley | The legal difference between the sit-ins and the Freedom Riders was significant. | 103 |
| Gary Ross | History is full of examples of people who clamp down after they began to enjoy too much freedom. Freedom can lead to instability, anarchy, and confusion. So there can be a moral counter-revolution. | 103 |
| George Pataki | After the tragedy, New Yorkers are more united than ever in their vision, as well as in appreciation what living in freedom means - and that if we stand together, we can accomplish anything. | 103 |
| Harvey Milk | I have tasted freedom. I will not give up that which I have tasted. | 103 |
| John Ensign | Human beings crave freedom at their core. | 103 |
| Laura Mvula | I love my complexion, but like so many of us, in the early years at primary school, I grew up thinking that my dark skin wasn't a great thing. I've found freedom in music and songwriting, which has given me a freedom in how I present myself. I'm glad I've got makeup to celebrate that with. | 103 |
| Laurie Helgoe | There's a lot to love about America - freedom, the melting pot of diversity, individualism - all attractive concepts, especially to an introvert. In fact, the introverts were probably the first to feel crowded in England and to daydream about all the space they would find in the New World. Peace! Quiet! | 103 |
| Maria Semple | I keep an elaborate calendar for my characters detailing on which dates everything happens. I'm constantly revising this as I go along. It gives me the freedom to intricately plot my story, knowing it will at least hold up on a timeline. | 103 |
| Rafael Correa | We won't tolerate abuses and crimes made every day in the name of freedom of speech. That is freedom of extortion and blackmail. | 103 |
| Richard Price | I think the definition of an artist is not necessarily tied into excellence or talent; an artist is somebody who, if you took away their freedom to make art, would lose their mind. | 103 |
| Sean Parker | I definitely wanted to earn my freedom. But the primary motivation wasn't making money, but making an impact. | 103 |
| Shashi Tharoor | I believe in an India of pluralism and diversity, not of religious bigotry and caste politics. I believe in an India that is secure in itself and confident of its place in the world, an India that is a proud example of tolerance, freedom and hope for the downtrodden. | 103 |
| Wayne Coyne | People have given me the freedom and believe in me enough to say if I want to do these things that I will find a way to make it work. I don't know if they think I'm crazy, drug damaged or just an old weirdo. | 103 |
| Wendy O. Williams | The important thing is to build up my cardiovascular system, so I have the stamina to do stunts. To me, stepping over the line, taking a chance and succeeding is the ultimate freedom, be it in rock and roll or when executing a really challenging routine. | 103 |
| Ben Nelson | What does it mean to be an American? While each of us may have our own specific answer to that question, we likely can agree on the basic principles of America: freedom, equal opportunity, and rights accompanied by responsibilities. | 103 |
| Bridget Riley | Painters have always needed a sort of veil upon which they can focus their attention. It's as though the more fully the consciousness is absorbed, the greater the freedom of the spirit behind. | 103 |
| Charlie Dent | We in the United States should be all the more thankful for the freedom and religious tolerance we enjoy. And we should always remember the lessons learned from the Holocaust, in hopes we stay vigilant against such inhumanity now and in the future. | 103 |
| Claude Chabrol | Laying tracks gives you freedom without being too obvious. | 103 |
| Friedrich Ebert | Without democracy there is no freedom. Violence, no matter who is using it, is always reactionary. | 103 |
| J. William Fulbright | In our excessive involvement in the affairs of other countries, we are not only living off our assets and denying our own people the proper enjoyment of their resources; we are also denying the world the example of a free society enjoying its freedom to the fullest. | 103 |
| Jim DeMint | We know from our own history that democratic institutions take decades to mature, and we know from past conflicts that freedom is not free. | 103 |
| Joe Lieberman | This is an exciting time. I believe we stand at the edge of a new age - a Golden Age - of freedom that will rival any of the great eras of world history because it will be the entire world itself that is changing. | 103 |
| Julie Burchill | The freedom that women were supposed to have found in the Sixties largely boiled down to easy contraception and abortion; things to make life easier for men, in fact. | 103 |
| Ma Jian | I am trying to persuade my family to spend more time in China. It's no fun to be in exile. I can't even figure out the basic 26 letters, let alone operate, in English. I often feel that although I've found the sky of freedom above my head, I've lost the soil I stand on. I need to be back in my motherland, where I can find inspirations. | 103 |
| Margaret Sanger | Woman must have her freedom, the fundamental freedom of choosing whether or not she will be a mother and how many children she will have. Regardless of what man's attitude may be, that problem is hers - and before it can be his, it is hers alone. | 103 |
| Mother Jones | If they want to hang me, let them. And on the scaffold I will shout Freedom for the working class! | 103 |
| Nelly Sachs | We breathed the air of freedom without knowing the language or any person. | 103 |
| Ricardo Semler | Bill Gore from Goretex was a very strong influence because he was one of the first larger companies to experiment with freedom in the workplace. | 103 |
| Steve Buyer | Since the Revolution, eight generations of America's veterans have established an unbroken commitment to freedom. | 103 |
| Steve Forbes | We must guard against the overreaching hand of big government trying to take away our freedom. And we must always protect the environment in a manner consistent with our values. | 103 |
| Sukarno | I was weaned not on television or Wild West sagas but on stories of nationalism and patriotism. I would sit at my mother's feet by the hour and drink in these exciting tales of the freedom fighters in our family. | 103 |
| Tipper Gore | Tensions exist in any free society. But the freedom we enjoy rests on a foundation of individual liberty and shared moral values. | 103 |
| Carrie Preston | I shot all my stuff on 'Arrested Development' in one day, and was brought into a really well-oiled machine. 'Cause it was the last season, and they were wrapping up a lot of stuff because they knew at that point that they weren't coming back. There seemed to be kind of a freedom, and certainly the cast had a great amount of camaraderie. | 103 |
| Jesse Helms | I want our government to encourage and protect freedom as well as our traditions of faith and family. | 103 |
| Johann Georg Hamann | Thus the public use of reason and freedom is nothing but a dessert, a sumptuous dessert. | 103 |
| Kenneth Kaunda | It would have been disastrous for Zambia if we had gone multi-party because these parties would have been used by those opposed to Zambia's participation in the freedom struggle. | 103 |
| Lamar S. Smith | The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. | 103 |
| Liu Xiaobo | Hatred is corrosive of a person's wisdom and conscience; the mentality of enmity can poison a nation's spirit, instigate brutal life and death struggles, destroy a society's tolerance and humanity, and block a nation's progress to freedom and democracy. | 103 |
| Ron Lewis | Freedom of religion is a principle that is central to our Nation's Declaration of Independence. Congress has taken this positive step to protect our freedom to express allegiance to America's flag and the ideals it represents. | 103 |
| Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy | The news that comes out of Pakistan is always geared toward terrorism and fundamentalism. But when you give people freedom of expression and the freedom to go out and be social and to express themselves, you will see a change. I see that coming about in my country. | 103 |
| Steve Winwood | It could be my British need for discipline that makes me admire the American appetite for freedom and passion. | 103 |
| Boyle Roche | We should silence anyone who opposes the right to freedom of speech. | 103 |
| Jacques Prevert | When truth is no longer free, freedom is no longer real: the truths of the police are the truths of today. | 103 |
| John Thune | I believe our flag is more than just cloth and ink. It is a universally recognized symbol that stands for liberty, and freedom. It is the history of our nation, and it's marked by the blood of those who died defending it. | 103 |
| Mark Kennedy | This enemy of peace in the world today is unlike any we have seen in the past, and our military is learning from, and building on, previous successes while carrying peace and freedom into the future. | 103 |
| Peter Benenson | Those who today still feel a sense of impotence can do something: they can support Amnesty International. They can help it to stand up for freedom and justice. | 103 |
| Raoul Vaneigem | In the kingdom of consumption the citizen is king. A democratic monarchy: equality before consumption, fraternity in consumption, and freedom through consumption. | 103 |
| Charles Peguy | Tyranny is always better organized than freedom. | 103 |
| Corliss Lamont | I believe firmly that in making ethical decisions, man has the prerogative of true freedom of choice. | 103 |
| Joe Baca | Native Americans are the original inhabitants of the land that now constitutes the United States. They have helped develop the fundamental principles of freedom of speech and separation of powers that form the foundation of the United States Government. | 103 |
| John Dos Passos | It's almost worth having been in the army for the joy your freedom gives you. | 103 |
| Robert Foster Bennett | Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself. | 103 |
| Silvio Berlusconi | The link between my experience as an entrepreneur and that of a politician is all in one word: freedom. | 103 |
| John Doolittle | America's Veterans have served their country with the belief that democracy and freedom are ideals to be upheld around the world. | 103 |
| Michelle Gagnon | I used to be a freelance journalist, so I had to write fast, but I always found writing nonfiction constraining. I like the freedom of fiction, where I get to invent everything, and tidy, conclusive endings are within my control. | 103 |
| Jessica Springsteen | I love the freedom you feel on horseback, and enjoy the discipline of competition. | 103 |
| Nelson Mandela | Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will. | 104 |
| Ronald Reagan | Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. | 104 |
| Epictetus | Is freedom anything else than the right to live as we wish? Nothing else. | 104 |
| George Orwell | Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. | 104 |
| Thomas Sowell | What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they don't like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don't expect freedom to survive very long. | 104 |
| Bayard Rustin | War is wrong. Conscription for war is inconsistent with freedom of conscience, which is not merely the right to believe but to act on the degree of truth that one receives, to follow a vocation which is God-inspired and God-directed. | 104 |
| Brian Eno | I felt extremely uncomfortable as the focal point, in the spotlight. I really like the behind the scenes role, because all my freedom is there. | 104 |
| Condoleezza Rice | The U.S. has since the end of World War II had an answer - we stand for free peoples and free markets, we are willing to support and defend them - we will sustain a balance of power that favors freedom. | 104 |
| Elliott Abrams | In Iran, there is no freedom of the press, no freedom of speech, no independent judiciary, no free elections. There is no freedom of religion - not even for Shiites, who are forced by Iran's theocracy to adhere to one narrow set of official rules. | 104 |
| Ernest Holmes | The road to freedom lies not through mysteries or occult performances, but through the intelligent use of natural forces and laws. | 104 |
| Felix Baumgartner | I started skydiving because I loved the idea of freedom. | 104 |
| Franz Boas | My father had retained an emotional affection for the ceremonial of his parental home, without allowing it to influence his intellectual freedom. | 104 |
| Friedrich August von Hayek | Perhaps the fact that we have seen millions voting themselves into complete dependence on a tyrant has made our generation understand that to choose one's government is not necessarily to secure freedom. | 104 |
| Henri Frederic Amiel | In health there is freedom. Health is the first of all liberties. | 104 |
| Ho Chi Minh | The Vietnamese people deeply love independence, freedom and peace. But in the face of United States aggression they have risen up, united as one man. | 104 |
| Howard Zinn | One certain effect of war is to diminish freedom of expression. | 104 |
| Hubert H. Humphrey | Freedom is hammered out on the anvil of discussion, dissent, and debate. | 104 |
| Ingrid Newkirk | Although we have, in theory, abolished human slavery, recognized women's rights, and stopped child labor, we continue to enslave other species who, if we simply pay attention, show quite clearly that they experience parental love, pain, and the desire for freedom, just as we do. | 104 |
| Luke Evans | For your own self-respect and sanity, your creative freedom, you have to be careful that you don't rely too much on other people's opinions of what you do because it can stunt and inhibit you. | 104 |
| Neal Boortz | If you support the war on drugs in its present form, then you're only paying lip-service to the defense of freedom, and you don't really grasp the concept of the sovereign individual human being. | 104 |
| Os Guinness | Beyond any question, the way the American founders consistently linked faith and freedom, republicanism and religion, was not only deliberate and thoughtful, it was also surprising and anything but routine. | 104 |
| Paul Giamatti | I was the youngest child and got a lot more freedom than my brother and sister. I used to wander, doing my own thing under the radar, but I didn't get in bad, bad trouble. | 104 |
| Peter Singer | The new freedom of expression brought by the Internet goes far beyond politics. People relate to each other in new ways, posing questions about how we should respond to people when all that we know about them is what we have learned through a medium that permits all kinds of anonymity and deception. | 104 |
| Quentin Crisp | It is not the simple statement of facts that ushers in freedom; it is the constant repetition of them that has this liberating effect. Tolerance is the result not of enlightenment, but of boredom. | 104 |
| Rosa Luxemburg | Freedom is always and exclusively freedom for the one who thinks differently. | 104 |
| Salman Rushdie | If you live in free countries, you don't have to spend all your life arguing about freedom because it is all around you. It seems redundant to make a lot of noise about something when, in fact, there it is. But if someone tries to remove it, it becomes important for you to formulate your own defenses of it. | 104 |
| Vernon Howard | Our freedom can be measured by the number of things we can walk away from. | 104 |
| Vince McMahon | In America it's live by the sword of freedom of expression and be will to die by it as well. | 104 |
| Wendell Willkie | Free men are the strongest men. | 104 |
| Yukihiro Matsumoto | Ruby inherited the Perl philosophy of having more than one way to do the same thing. I inherited that philosophy from Larry Wall, who is my hero actually. I want to make Ruby users free. I want to give them the freedom to choose. | 104 |
| Archibald MacLeish | There are those who will say that the liberation of humanity, the freedom of man and mind is nothing but a dream. They are right. It is the American Dream. | 104 |
| Brendan Myers | Our world is utterly saturated with fear. We fear being attacked by religious extremists, both foreign and domestic. We fear the loss of political rights, a loss of privacy, or a loss of freedom. We fear being injured, robbed or attacked, being judged by others, or neglected, or left unloved. | 104 |
| Brian Molko | There's a hell of a lot of freedom in this rock and roll circus... it's where all the freaks go - it's the environment for me. | 104 |
| Christo | The work of art is a scream of freedom. | 104 |
| Garrett Hardin | Ruin is the destination toward which all men rush, each pursuing his own best interest in a society that believes in the freedom of the commons. | 104 |
| Luke Scott | There's no one here in America swimming the Pacific Ocean - or the Atlantic, or the Caribbean - to leave this place. The reason why is because of the freedom. Freedom for a man to mark out his own destiny. It's not, 'Hey, you have so much.' | 104 |
| Mahmoud Ahmadinejad | People should have freedom in their pilgrimages and tours. They should come and visit historical monuments and sites - let's say the sites around Iran - where they can easily engage in wide- scale contacts with others. | 104 |
| Matisyahu | Growing up, the way that I looked was very important to me. I was always trying to impress people, and when I grew my beard there was a certain freedom, a separation, getting past this the way I looked, identify myself as a spiritual seeker. | 104 |
| Natan Sharansky | When we are unwilling to draw clear moral lines between free societies and fear societies, when we are unwilling to call the former good and the latter evil, we will not be able to advance the cause of peace because peace cannot be disconnected from freedom. | 104 |
| Parker Palmer | America's freedom of religion, and freedom from religion, offers every wisdom tradition an opportunity to address our soul-deep needs: Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, secular humanism, agnosticism and atheism among others. | 104 |
| Paul Tsongas | In this era of the global village, the tide of democracy is running. And it will not cease, not in China, not in South Africa, not in any corner of this earth, where the simple idea of democracy and freedom has taken root. | 104 |
| Pope Shenouda III | The Coptic Church respects the law but it does not accept rulings that go against the Bible and our freedom of religion. | 104 |
| Rick Santorum | I'll never forget the first time I saw someone who had died. It was my grandfather. And I knelt next to his coffin. And all I could do was eye level was look at his hands. They were enormous hands. And all I could think was, 'Those hands dug freedom for me.' | 104 |
| Robert Capa | I would say that the war correspondent gets more drinks, more girls, better pay, and greater freedom than the soldier, but at this stage of the game, having the freedom to choose his spot and being allowed to be a coward and not be executed for it is his torture. | 104 |
| Afrojack | I was in school - I was a good learner; if I wanted to get something done, I could get it done. I was lazy, though. I was always, like, sort of an outcast. And when I got home, I was always doing music, but when I was doing music, no one was there to judge it, you know? It was just me in my bedroom. It gave me freedom and made me happy. | 104 |
| Dick Gephardt | What we have is two important values in conflict: freedom of speech and our desire for healthy campaigns in a healthy democracy. You can't have both. | 104 |
| Doc Hastings | 137 years later, Memorial Day remains one of America's most cherished patriotic observances. The spirit of this day has not changed - it remains a day to honor those who died defending our freedom and democracy. | 104 |
| Jan Peter Balkenende | Day after day we must remember we can take freedom for granted. Day after day we must keep the bond between freedom and other values in mind. | 104 |
| Michael Burgess | Your Guardians of Freedom is a new program that enables unit commanders and Airmen to quickly communicate with people affected by and interested in the mobilization and deployment of military people. | 104 |
| Moshe Dayan | Freedom is the oxygen of the soul. | 104 |
| Patrick Chappatte | We need to defend absolutely the freedom of speech. | 104 |
| Petra Nemcova | I grew up under Communism so we could only learn Russian, and then when Communism fell in 1989 we could learn a few more things and have the freedom to travel and the freedom of speech - and the freedom of dreaming, really. | 104 |
| Philip Wylie | If liberty has any meaning it means freedom to improve. | 104 |
| Rachel Corrie | I am a good, strong word giver; I am a jealous guard of my own secrets. Freedom is the rule; I am hungry for one good thing I can do. | 104 |
| Anita Brookner | Time misspent in youth is sometimes all the freedom one ever has. | 104 |
| Bill Moyers | Secrecy is the freedom tyrants dream of. | 104 |
| Chrisette Michele | Truth is, I cut my hair for freedom, not for beauty. | 104 |
| Elizabeth Dole | The very idea of freedom incites fear in the hearts of terrorists across the world. | 104 |
| Jane Campion | But short films are not inferior, just different. I think the short gives a freedom to film-makers. What's appealing is that you don't have as much responsibility for storytelling and plot. They can be more like a portrait, or a poem. | 104 |
| Sigmar Gabriel | What we have at present is a system of loss socialism. Whatever goes wrong is shouldered by the general public and anything that works is privatised. Worshippers of market freedom have suspended the most important economic principle: Risk and liability go hand in hand. | 104 |
| Bobby Sands | The day will dawn when all the people of Ireland will have the desire for freedom to show. It is then we'll see the rising of the moon. | 104 |
| Jim Bunning | From watching the news one would think the Iraqis want us out of their country. But an overwhelming majority of Iraqis support our involvement there. Our freedom is contagious and we helped liberate them. | 104 |
| Joe Baca | Latinos have fought in all of America's wars, beginning with the Revolutionary War. Many Latinos are fighting and dying for our country today in Iraq, just as several of their ancestors fought for freedom in Mexico over a century ago. | 104 |
| Robert McNamara | Coercion, after all, merely captures man. Freedom captivates him. | 104 |
| Margaret Walker | Let a new earth rise. Let another world be born. Let a bloody peace be written in the sky. Let a second generation full of courage issue forth; let a people loving freedom come to growth. | 104 |
| Thomas Jefferson | We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. | 105 |
| Voltaire | Man is free at the moment he wishes to be. | 105 |
| Eckhart Tolle | To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment. | 105 |
| George Orwell | War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. | 105 |
| Robert Kennedy | Ultimately, America's answer to the intolerant man is diversity, the very diversity which our heritage of religious freedom has inspired. | 105 |
| Stephen Covey | Every human has four endowments - self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change. | 105 |
| Vladimir Lenin | While the State exists there can be no freedom; when there is freedom there will be no State. | 105 |
| Woodrow Wilson | Liberty has never come from Government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it. | 105 |
| bell hooks | The political core of any movement for freedom in the society has to have the political imperative to protect free speech. | 105 |
| Coretta Scott King | Struggle is a never ending process. Freedom is never really won, you earn it and win it in every generation. | 105 |
| Dave Reichert | I believe that the freedom of speech should be protected, but so should a family's right to privacy as they grieve their loss. There is a time and a place for vigorous debate on the War on Terror, but during a family's last goodbye is not it. | 105 |
| Denis Diderot | Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest. | 105 |
| E. Stanley Jones | Victorious living does not mean freedom from temptation, nor does it mean freedom from mistakes. | 105 |
| Edward R. Murrow | We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home. | 105 |
| Floyd Abrams | So sometimes the facts are good and sometimes the facts are bad, the important thing from the point of view of a principle as broad and important as freedom of speech is that the courts articulate and set forth in a very protective way what those principles are. | 105 |
| Gary Bauer | Republican values - strong families, faith, personal responsibility and freedom, among others - are not unique to specific subsets of the electorate. They are universal values, and it is Republicans' job to remind Americans of that fact. | 105 |
| Gustave Flaubert | Art requires neither complaisance nor politeness; nothing but faith, faith and freedom. | 105 |
| John Calvin | God tolerates even our stammering, and pardons our ignorance whenever something inadvertently escapes us - as, indeed, without this mercy there would be no freedom to pray. | 105 |
| Lech Walesa | We hold our heads high, despite the price we have paid, because freedom is priceless. | 105 |
| Marilyn vos Savant | What is the essence of America? Finding and maintaining that perfect, delicate balance between freedom 'to' and freedom 'from.' | 105 |
| Os Guinness | Like a precious family heirloom, freedom is not just ours to enjoy, but to treasure, protect, and pass on to future generations. | 105 |
| Patrick Henry | Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined. | 105 |
| Ramana Maharshi | The degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress. | 105 |
| Robert Downey, Jr. | I want to give myself the freedom not to have to be projecting my whole life ahead. | 105 |
| Ron Paul | I am just absolutely convinced that the best formula for giving us peace and preserving the American way of life is freedom, limited government, and minding our own business overseas. | 105 |
| Rudy Giuliani | The lesson of 9/11 is that America is truly exceptional. We withstood the worst attack of our history, intended by our enemies to destroy us. Instead, it drew us closer and made us more united. Our love for freedom and one another has given us a strength that surprised even ourselves. | 105 |
| Tom Hodgkinson | Beauty, pleasure, freedom and plenty of sleep: these are the hallmarks of a successful idler's break. Travel should not be hard work. | 105 |
| Tommy Lee | The best thing about being rich is the freedom; freedom to do whatever you want whenever you want. It doesn't suck. | 105 |
| Wendell Willkie | Freedom is an indivisible word. If we want to enjoy it, and fight for it, we must be prepared to extend it to everyone, whether they are rich or poor, whether they agree with us or not, no matter what their race or the color of their skin. | 105 |
| Will Durant | In my youth I stressed freedom, and in my old age I stress order. I have made the great discovery that liberty is a product of order. | 105 |
| William Glasser | We are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun. | 105 |
| Willie Nelson | Freedom is control in your own life. I have more control now than in the past, and I'm learning the value of saying no. That's very important. | 105 |
| Wole Soyinka | The greatest threat to freedom is the absence of criticism. | 105 |
| Wynton Marsalis | There are forces all around you who wish to exploit division, rob you of your freedom, and tell you what to think. But young folks can rekindle the weary spirit of a slumbering nation. | 105 |
| Bjorn Ulvaeus | Stockholm is unique in that it's built on islands and surrounded by water, so you get this enormous sense of freedom. It's got everything you could possibly need - everything New York or London has but without all the people and traffic. It's also become a very creative city, not only for music but also for fashion and computer games. | 105 |
| Dasha Zhukova | I believe in the freedom of choice in both life and death. | 105 |
| Jacqueline Novogratz | When we deny the poor and the vulnerable their own human dignity and capacity for freedom and choice, it becomes self-denial. It becomes a denial of both our collective and individual dignity, at all levels of society. | 105 |
| Ricardo Montalban | It is to TV that I owe my freedom from bondage of the Latin lover roles. Television came along and gave me parts to chew on. It gave me wings as an actor. | 105 |
| Rick Santorum | My view is the less the government can do and the more freedom and opportunity you give people, that trusting people and free people and free enterprise - that America has built the greatest country in the history of the world. | 105 |
| Tammy Bruce | Yes, we have the freedom to do what we please, but it only works because we don't do everything we might please - we should exercise some degree of personal, and corporate, responsibility. | 105 |
| Tariq Ramadan | If people who cherish freedom, who know the importance of mutual respect and are aware of the imperative necessity to establish a constructive and critical debate, if these people are not ready to speak out, to be more committed and visible, then we can expect sad, painful tomorrows. The choice is ours. | 105 |
| Betty Ford | The search for human freedom can never be complete without freedom for women. | 105 |
| Cathy McMorris Rodgers | What has made America great have been the opportunities given to everyone in this country. Since our founding, individuals and families have come to America to seek freedom, opportunity and the choice for a better life. | 105 |
| Gary Ackerman | From the U.S. Capitol Building to the White House, our national symbols that represent freedom to so many of us, were built by people who were anything but free. | 105 |
| George Allen | We should favor innovation and freedom over regulation. | 105 |
| James Larkin | There must be freedom for all to live, to think, to worship, no book, no avenue must be closed. | 105 |
| Jimmy Wales | I'm a big advocate of freedom: freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of thought. | 105 |
| Juliette Binoche | I believe that being an actress or being involved in a movie has to be a life experience, otherwise why go for it? I have to change me, and I have to learn things, and I have to push me and my limits. By acting, I find a freedom inside of a prison in a way. | 105 |
| L. Neil Smith | We are expected to believe that anyone who objects to the Department of Homeland Security or the USA Patriot Act is a terrorist, and that the only way to preserve our freedom is to hand it over to the government for safekeeping. | 105 |
| Melissa Etheridge | I've sold my soul for freedom. It's lonely but it's sweet. | 105 |
| Robin Hayes | What our men and women in uniform are doing is providing for the Iraqi people and other surrounding nations the opportunity to see, to taste and to experience the democracy that equals freedom and ultimately justice. | 105 |
| Andy Garcia | I'm an exile. My father had the courage to leave with his wife, his mother and three children under twelve. It took more courage to leave, to sacrifice everything for freedom, than to stay. | 105 |
| Bob Taft | What happened on September 11 compels us to focus on who we are as Americans, what we stand for, what really matters in our lives - family, friends, faith and freedom. | 105 |
| Dorothy Canfield Fisher | Freedom is not worth fighting for if it means no more than license for everyone to get as much as he can for himself. | 105 |
| Stockwell Day | I believe in freedom of speech, but I believe we should also have the right to comment on freedom of speech. | 105 |
| Trent Lott | Freedom is never easily won, but once established, freedom lasts, spreads and chokes out tyranny. | 105 |
| Alberto Salazar | I've run a lot of miles over the years, some fast and some not so fast. I've won some big races and I've had some big disappointments, but I enjoy the freedom of running and the challenge of training and competition as much now as when I first started back in high school. | 105 |
| John Dyer | The lifestyle that an artist can have, the freedom to wander in the landscape with no real pressure or deadlines, was a very attractive one. | 105 |
| John Ralston Saul | Humanism: an exaltation of freedom, but one limited by our need to exercise it as an integral part of nature and society. | 105 |
| Frederick Douglass | Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. | 106 |
| Jim Morrison | Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free. | 106 |
| Rosa Parks | I would like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free... so other people would be also free. | 106 |
| Viktor E. Frankl | Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. | 106 |
| Angelina Jolie | The truth is I love being alive. And I love feeling free. So if I can't have those things then I feel like a caged animal and I'd rather not be in a cage. I'd rather be dead. And it's real simple. And I think it's not that uncommon. | 106 |
| Christopher McCandless | No phone. No pool. No pets. No cigarettes. Ultimate freedom... No longer to be poisoned by civilization, he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become Lost in the Wild. | 106 |
| Jiddu Krishnamurti | Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of a problem. | 106 |
| Ai Weiwei | China has not established the rule of law and if there is a power above the law there is no social justice. Everybody can be subjected to harm. I'm just a citizen: my life is equal in value to any other. But I'm thankful that when I lost my freedom so many people shared feelings and put such touching effort into helping me. | 106 |
| Anna Quindlen | Children should have enough freedom to be themselves - once they've learned the rules. | 106 |
| Bayard Rustin | If we desire a society in which men are brothers, then we must act towards one another with brotherhood. If we can build such a society, then we would have achieved the ultimate goal of human freedom. | 106 |
| Billie Joe Armstrong | Punk has always been about doing things your own way. What it represents for me is ultimate freedom and a sense of individuality. | 106 |
| Brigham Young | True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right. | 106 |
| Buddy Rich | But, I don't think any arranger should ever write a drum part for a drummer because if a drummer can't create his own Interpretation of the chart and he plays everything that's written, he becomes mechanical; he has no freedom. | 106 |
| Christopher Dodd | Every American deserves to live in freedom, to have his or her privacy respected and a chance to go as far as their ability and effort will take them - regardless of race, gender, ethnicity or economic circumstances. | 106 |
| Corazon Aquino | Freedom of expression - in particular, freedom of the press - guarantees popular participation in the decisions and actions of government, and popular participation is the essence of our democracy. | 106 |
| George Will | Government has the role of suiting people for freedom. People aren't made for freedom spontaneously. There's sort of a 19-year race between when people are born and when they become adults. And government has a role in making them, at the end of 19 years, suited to be upright, trustworthy repositories of popular sovereignty. | 106 |
| Haile Selassie | If a strong government finds that it can, with impunity, destroy a weak people, then the hour has struck for that weak people to appeal to the League of Nations to give its judgment in all freedom. God and history will remember your judgment. | 106 |
| Irvine Welsh | I enjoy the freedom of the blank page. | 106 |
| Isaiah Berlin | The fundamental sense of freedom is freedom from chains, from imprisonment, from enslavement by others. The rest is extension of this sense, or else metaphor. | 106 |
| Jackie Chan | I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not. I'm really confused now. | 106 |
| Josephine Baker | I wanted to get far away from those who believed in cruelty, so then I went to France, a land of true freedom, democracy, equality and fraternity. | 106 |
| Kate Adie | I keep telling myself to calm down, to take less of an interest in things and not to get so excited, but I still care a lot about liberty, freedom of speech and expression, and fairness in journalism. | 106 |
| Milos Forman | Because if you lived, as I did, several years under Nazi totalitarianism, and then 20 years in communist totalitarianism, you would certainly realize how precious freedom is, and how easy it is to lose your freedom. | 106 |
| Molly Ivins | Many a time freedom has been rolled back - and always for the same sorry reason: fear. | 106 |
| Nina Simone | I had spent many years pursuing excellence, because that is what classical music is all about... Now it was dedicated to freedom, and that was far more important. | 106 |
| Peace Pilgrim | Unnecessary possessions are unnecessary burdens. If you have them, you have to take care of them! There is great freedom in simplicity of living. It is those who have enough but not too much who are the happiest. | 106 |
| Philippe Petit | I found out that total creativity involves a certain intellectual rebellion - not to become a criminal, but somehow. to be totally creating, you have to do things that are a little bit forbidden. You have to feel free, and we know freedom is a hard thing to get. | 106 |
| Rollo May | Human freedom involves our capacity to pause, to choose the one response toward which we wish to throw our weight. | 106 |
| Sandra Day O'Connor | The freedom to criticize judges and other public officials is necessary to a vibrant democracy. The problem comes when healthy criticism is replaced with more destructive intimidation and sanctions. | 106 |
| Shimon Peres | The Middle East is ailing. The malady stems from pervasive violence, shortages of food, water and educational opportunities, discrimination against women and - the most virulent cause of all - the absence of freedom. | 106 |
| Thomas Mann | It is a strange fact that freedom and equality, the two basic ideas of democracy, are to some extent contradictory. Logically considered, freedom and equality are mutually exclusive, just as society and the individual are mutually exclusive. | 106 |
| Tony Stewart | Get in the race car do what I do then go home. We don't have freedom to do anything anymore. | 106 |
| William J. Brennan, Jr. | We do not consecrate the flag by punishing its desecration, for in doing so, we dilute the freedom this cherished emblem represents. | 106 |
| Amy Chua | Genghis Khan decreed religious tolerance for all of his conquered peoples. So I think he definitely would approve of our constitutional protections of freedom of religion. I think he would also approve of the way the U.S. has been able to attract talented people from all over the world. | 106 |
| Ashwin Sanghi | It may sound very strange, but I love the freedom that writing a novel gives me. It is an unhindered experience. If I come after a bad day, I can decide that my protagonist will die on page 100 of my novel in a 350-page story. | 106 |
| Dan Savage | One man's blasphemy doesn't override other people's free-speech rights, their freedom to publish, freedom of thought. | 106 |
| Jeff Miller | I have always been a firm believer in the longstanding American principle of having the right to bear arms and I will remain committed to see that this freedom is not infringed upon, revoked, or limited in any way. | 106 |
| Lawrence Lessig | A culture without property, or in which creators can't get paid, is anarchy, not freedom. | 106 |
| Merle Haggard | In 1960, when I came out of prison as an ex-convict, I had more freedom under parolee supervision than there's available... in America right now. | 106 |
| Sebastian Stan | Sometimes with films you have a freedom to be able to, Okay, we got that take so let's try another one where suddenly I'll say this, or you'll get to improv. You can't do that with stage. We have to make it new every time, and also within the structured settings. | 106 |
| David Allan Coe | Freedom cannot be given... It can only be taken away. | 106 |
| Ma Jian | To become self-aware, people must be allowed to hear a plurality of opinions and then make up their own minds. They must be allowed to say, write and publish whatever they want. Freedom of expression is the most basic, but fundamental, right. Without it, human beings are reduced to automatons. | 106 |
| Robert M. Gates | I have always that there ought to be some kind of mandatory national service, not necessarily in the military but to show everybody that freedom isn't free, that everybody has an obligation to the nation as a community. | 106 |
| Drew Houston | Instead of trying to make your life perfect, give yourself the freedom to make it an adventure, and go ever upward. | 106 |
| James McGreevey | To be able to love and live in freedom means to be able to make godly decisions. To make godly decisions we have to surrender our egos and all the falsity and shame that goes with it. | 106 |
| T. Harv Eker | For the rich, it's not about getting more stuff. It's about having the freedom to make almost any decision you want. | 106 |
| John Charles Polanyi | For science must breathe the oxygen of freedom. | 106 |
| Bobby Sands | I was only a working-class boy from a Nationalist ghetto. But it is repression that creates the revolutionary spirit of freedom. | 106 |
| Voltaire | It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere. | 107 |
| Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel | The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom. | 107 |
| George W. Bush | The course of this conflict is not known, yet its outcome is certain. Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them. | 107 |
| Jim Morrison | The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. | 107 |
| Malcolm X | Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it. | 107 |
| Soren Kierkegaard | Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom. | 107 |
| Alexis de Tocqueville | I know of no country in which there is so little independence of mind and real freedom of discussion as in America. | 107 |
| John Adams | Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it. | 107 |
| Coretta Scott King | I believe all Americans who believe in freedom, tolerance and human rights have a responsibility to oppose bigotry and prejudice based on sexual orientation. | 107 |
| Elliott Abrams | If the president of the United States says that attacks on civilians, starvation, and denial of religious freedom in Sudan are important international issues, they become so. | 107 |
| Friedrich Schiller | Grace is the beauty of form under the influence of freedom. | 107 |
| Hassan Nasrallah | To talk about liberty and freedom is nice, lovely, but the important thing is to allow people to act in liberty and freedom. | 107 |
| Ismail Haniyeh | I salute all the nations of the Arab Spring and I salute the heroic people of Syria who are striving for freedom, democracy and reform. | 107 |
| Milan Kundera | True human goodness, in all its purity and freedom, can come to the fore only when its recipient has no power. | 107 |
| Paulo Freire | Education is freedom. | 107 |
| Salman Rushdie | Two things form the bedrock of any open society - freedom of expression and rule of law. If you don't have those things, you don't have a free country. | 107 |
| Sergey Brin | We've seen a massive attack on the freedom of the web. Governments are realizing the power of this medium to organize people and they are trying to clamp down across the world, not just in places like China and North Korea; we're seeing bills in the United States, in Italy, all across the world. | 107 |
| Steven Biko | A Black man should be more independent and depend on himself for his freedom and not to take it for granted that someone would lead him to it. The blacks are tired of standing at the touchlines to witness a game that they should be playing. They want to do things for themselves and all by themselves. | 107 |
| Stokely Carmichael | Now, then, in order to understand white supremacy we must dismiss the fallacious notion that white people can give anybody their freedom. | 107 |
| Vidya Balan | Being traditional is a choice for me. South Indian families bring up their children with a sense of freedom, self-respect and self-value. We do whatever we have to with earnestness and honesty, including being uninhibited. Yet we hold onto our roots. | 107 |
| William E. Gladstone | There should be a sympathy with freedom, a desire to give it scope, founded not upon visionary ideas, but upon the long experience of many generations within the shores of this happy isle, that in freedom you lay the firmest foundations both of loyalty and order. | 107 |
| William O. Douglas | The right to be let alone is indeed the beginning of all freedoms. | 107 |
| Allen West | When more Americans prefer freebies to freedom, these great United States will become a fertile ground for tyranny. | 107 |
| Jean Paul Gaultier | I take life as it happens. And I give myself a lot of freedom. | 107 |
| Troian Bellisario | Being a teenager is chaotic because you're kind of coming into your own, but you're not an adult; you're fighting with your parents over responsibilities and freedom. | 107 |
| Jim DeMint | I'm humbled to follow in the footsteps of Ed Feulner, who built the most important conservative institution in the nation. He has been a friend and mentor for years and I am honored to carry on his legacy of fighting for freedom. | 107 |
| Mahmoud Abbas | We need international support so that our people live a life of normality, of dignity, of liberty and freedom. I hope that our cry for freedom may be heard. | 107 |
| Mike Wallace | My parents came from Russia and suddenly they wound up in Boston, Massachusetts, Brookline, Massachusetts and they felt the sun rose and set on Franklin Delano Roosevelt's backside because he meant so much to them. This was freedom. This was something totally different from the Russia they had left. | 107 |
| Margaret Mitchell | Until you have lost your reputation, you never realize what a burden it was or what freedom really is. | 107 |
| Mstislav Rostropovich | Every man must have the right fearlessly to think independently and express his opinion about what he knows, what he has personally thought about and experienced, and not merely to express with slightly different variations the opinion which has been inculcated in him. | 107 |
| Ron Lewis | Our safety at home and the cause of freedom abroad is largely contingent upon our success in Iraq. | 107 |
| Max Lerner | The problem of freedom in America is that of maintaining a competition of ideas, and you do not achieve that by silencing one brand of idea. | 107 |
| Sidney Hook | To silence criticism is to silence freedom. | 107 |
| Jack Herer | When I went off to the army when I was 17 years old, I believed in America and the rights of freedom. But today I believe my government is lying to the American people and that my president, George Bush, is a criminal. | 107 |
| John F. Kennedy | The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission. | 108 |
| Albert Camus | The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. | 108 |
| Desmond Tutu | The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. | 108 |
| Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | This is the highest wisdom that I own; freedom and life are earned by those alone who conquer them each day anew. | 108 |
| Rabindranath Tagore | Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom. | 108 |
| Simone de Beauvoir | I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom. | 108 |
| Ice Cube | I love music. It's freedom, a way to deal with pent-up frustration. | 108 |
| Kofi Annan | Education is a human right with immense power to transform. On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom, democracy and sustainable human development. | 108 |
| Mike Tyson | Real freedom is having nothing. I was freer when I didn't have a cent. | 108 |
| Robert A. Heinlein | I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. | 108 |
| Charles Maurice de Talleyrand | Without freedom of the press, there can be no representative government. | 108 |
| Daniel J. Boorstin | Freedom means the opportunity to be what we never thought we would be. | 108 |
| Daniel Radcliffe | I'm never going to be in something as commercially successful as 'Harry Potter' ever again. It's impossible. So that gives me incredible freedom to go off and make the slightly off-the-wall films that I want to make. | 108 |
| Dmitri Mendeleev | I have achieved an inner freedom. | 108 |
| Friedrich Engels | Freedom is the recognition of necessity. | 108 |
| Gianni Versace | I have a fantastic relationship with money. I use it to buy my freedom. | 108 |
| Guy Finley | We need to see, and agree that what we seek already lives within us, and we within it. Now we know our one great task: watch for whatever promises us freedom, and then quietly, consciously refuse to see ourselves through the eyes of what we know is incomplete. Then we live wholeness itself, instead of spending our lives looking for it. | 108 |
| Ivan Turgenev | In the end, nature is inexorable: it has no reason to hurry and, sooner or later, it takes what belongs to it. Unconsciously and inflexibly obedient to its own laws, it doesn't know art, just as it doesn't know freedom, just as it doesn't know goodness. | 108 |
| Jon Stewart | Our culture is just a series of checks and balances. The whole idea that we're in a battle between tyranny and freedom - it's a series of pendulum swings. | 108 |
| Kristin Armstrong | I want to be intentional about my freedom - in choosing it, honoring it, and protecting it. One of the best feelings I know is feeling truly free. | 108 |
| Mitt Romney | Religious freedom opens a door for Americans that is closed to too many others around the world. But whether we walk through that door, and what we do with our lives after we do, is up to us. | 108 |
| Muhammad Ali Jinnah | Pakistan not only means freedom and independence but the Muslim Ideology which has to be preserved, which has come to us as a precious gift and treasure and which, we hope other will share with us. | 108 |
| Patrick Henry | The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them. | 108 |
| Ramakrishna | Bondage is of the mind; freedom too is of the mind. If you say 'I am a free soul. I am a son of God who can bind me' free you shall be. | 108 |
| Ron Paul | Back a hundred years ago, especially around Woodrow Wilson, what happened in this country is we took freedom and we chopped it into pieces. | 108 |
| Samuel Adams | The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. | 108 |
| Tom Robbins | The trickster's function is to break taboos, create mischief, stir things up. In the end, the trickster gives people what they really want, some sort of freedom. | 108 |
| Walter Cronkite | There is no such thing as a little freedom. Either you are all free, or you are not free. | 108 |
| William Hague | Governments that block the aspirations of their people, that steal or are corrupt, that oppress and torture or that deny freedom of expression and human rights should bear in mind that they will find it increasingly hard to escape the judgement of their own people, or where warranted, the reach of international law. | 108 |
| Allen West | The little platoon of the black community is the church. Our Christian faith is based on individual freedom from sin and the personal decision to find spiritual liberty that leads to a better life here on Earth and for eternity. On Sundays in America, the most conservative people can be found in black churches. | 108 |
| Dada Vaswani | True success, true happiness lies in freedom and fulfillment. | 108 |
| Deborah Moggach | Independence is fun, especially when there's a beloved waiting in the wings, and freedom makes you a more interesting person. Having separate lives brings fresh air into a relationship. | 108 |
| Mahmoud Ahmadinejad | Fundamentally, I do agree, certainly, people must be allowed to express their own opinions freely. Freedom is part of the essential rights of all nations. | 108 |
| Pranab Mukherjee | I come from a political family. My father was a freedom fighter. He was a prominent leader of the locality and member of the Congress party. He spent 10 years in British prisons. In the evening, in our living room, the only subject we used to discuss was politics. So politics was not unfamiliar to me. | 108 |
| Luis Bunuel | Fortunately, somewhere between chance and mystery lies imagination, the only thing that protects our freedom, despite the fact that people keep trying to reduce it or kill it off altogether. | 108 |
| Mark Udall | The balance between freedom and security is a delicate one. | 108 |
| Andrew Shue | I'm just kind of taking a break now and enjoying the freedom of making my own choices. When you're on a television show for six years, they run your schedule. | 108 |
| Albert Camus | Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future. | 109 |
| Robert Frost | Freedom lies in being bold. | 109 |
| Angela Davis | My name became known because I was, one might say accidentally the target of state repression and because so many people throughout the country and other parts of the world organized around the demand for my freedom. | 109 |
| Aung San Suu Kyi | Human beings want to be free and however long they may agree to stay locked up, to stay oppressed, there will come a time when they say 'That's it.' Suddenly they find themselves doing something that they never would have thought they would be doing, simply because of the human instinct that makes them turn their face towards freedom. | 109 |
| John Adams | Liberty cannot be preserved without general knowledge among the people. | 109 |
| Milton Friedman | Indeed, a major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it... gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself. | 109 |
| Alan Greenspan | An almost hysterical antagonism toward the gold standard is one issue which unites statists of all persuasions. They seem to sense... that gold and economic freedom are inseparable. | 109 |
| Arundhati Roy | I'm not ambitious. I don't want to get anywhere, I don't want anything more. I sometimes think that for me that is the real freedom, that I don't want anything. I don't want money or prizes. I want people to know that a war is going to be fought. | 109 |
| Ben Shapiro | President Obama's respect for the Constitution does not extend to freedom of religion - his administration has forced religious businessowners to pay for insurance plans that cover activities in violation of religious precepts. | 109 |
| Charles Lindbergh | Real freedom lies in wildness, not in civilization. | 109 |
| Clarence Darrow | You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom. | 109 |
| Corazon Aquino | You, the foreign media, have been the companion of my people in its long and painful journey to freedom. | 109 |
| Emmeline Pankhurst | If it is right for men to fight for their freedom, and God knows what the human race would be like today if men had not, since time began, fought for their freedom, then it is right for women to fight for their freedom and the freedom of the children they bear. | 109 |
| Hedy Lamarr | Analysis gave me great freedom of emotions and fantastic confidence. I felt I had served my time as a puppet. | 109 |
| Henrik Ibsen | The spirit of truth and the spirit of freedom - these are the pillars of society. | 109 |
| Johnny Carson | The only thing money gives you is the freedom of not worrying about money. | 109 |
| Larry David | Once I know people know who I am, it gives me a lot of licence and freedom to behave in ways I wouldn't normally. | 109 |
| Richard Stallman | With paper printed books, you have certain freedoms. You can acquire the book anonymously by paying cash, which is the way I always buy books. I never use a credit card. I don't identify to any database when I buy books. Amazon takes away that freedom. | 109 |
| Rick Perry | But it wasn't until I graduated from Texas A & M University and joined the United States Air Force, flying C-130's all around the globe, that I truly appreciated the blessings of freedom. | 109 |
| Roald Dahl | A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom. | 109 |
| Rollo May | It requires greater courage to preserve inner freedom, to move on in one's inward journey into new realms, than to stand defiantly for outer freedom. It is often easier to play the martyr, as it is to be rash in battle. | 109 |
| Serj Tankian | When I was younger, I was listening to a lot of Armenian music, you know, revolutionary music about freedom and protest. In the 70s I was listening to soul and the Bee Gees and ABBA, and funk. | 109 |
| Sting | I try to give the media as many confusing images as I can to retain my freedom. What's real is for my children and the people I live with. | 109 |
| Wendell Willkie | When we talk of freedom and opportunity for all nations, the mocking paradoxes in our own society become so clear they can no longer be ignored. | 109 |
| Archibald MacLeish | What is freedom? Freedom is the right to choose: the right to create for oneself the alternatives of choice. | 109 |
| Bill Owens | I believe the Patriot Act strikes the right balance needed to protect our freedom and security. | 109 |
| Charles Horton Cooley | Institutions - government, churches, industries, and the like - have properly no other function than to contribute to human freedom; and in so far as they fail, on the whole, to perform this function, they are wrong and need reconstruction. | 109 |
| Eamon de Valera | The part which American friendship played in helping us to win the freedom we enjoy in this part of Ireland has been gratefully recognized and acknowledged by our people. | 109 |
| Ha-Joon Chang | Every market has some rules and boundaries that restrict freedom of choice. A market looks free only because we so unconditionally accept its underlying restrictions that we fail to see them. | 109 |
| J. G. Ballard | In a completely sane world, madness is the only freedom. | 109 |
| James Altucher | Don't stay at the job for safe salary increases over time. That will never get you where you want - freedom from financial worry. Only free time, imagination, creativity, and an ability to disappear will help you deliver value that nobody ever delivered before in the history of mankind. | 109 |
| Mahmoud Ahmadinejad | We do believe that freedom, the right to choose, the right to vote, respect and justice is the fundamental right of all people. All people must obtain these rights. | 109 |
| Shari Arison | I have recently been able to see the new world - the quiet, the tranquility and the freedom it will bring with it. This is very comforting knowledge for me because I already know that what I envision eventually becomes a reality. | 109 |
| James F. Cooper | Individuality is the aim of political liberty. By leaving the citizen as much freedom of action and of being as comports with order and the rights of others, the institutions render him truly a freeman. He is left to pursue his means of happiness in his own manner. | 109 |
| Robert Frost | If society fits you comfortably enough, you call it freedom. | 110 |
| Victoria Osteen | In fact, we have a choice of freedom of heart to follow God. | 110 |
| John Lydon | Freedom isn't to do what you want at somebody else's expense. | 110 |
| Johnny Depp | I was ecstatic they re-named 'French Fries' as 'Freedom Fries'. Grown men and women in positions of power in the U.S. government showing themselves as idiots. | 110 |
| Alfred Adler | Every therapeutic cure, and still more, any awkward attempt to show the patient the truth, tears him from the cradle of his freedom from responsibility and must therefore reckon with the most vehement resistance. | 110 |
| Alice Walker | For in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle; and one faces down fears of today so that those of tomorrow might be engaged. | 110 |
| Corazon Aquino | You have spent many lives and much treasure to bring freedom to many lands that were reluctant to receive it. And here you have a people who won it by themselves and need only the help to preserve it. | 110 |
| Dean Kamen | Nothing that has value, real value, has no cost. Not freedom, not food, not shelter, not healthcare. | 110 |
| Florence Welch | It would be too frightening for me to consider myself a role model. But I like the idea of not being afraid of letting your imagination rule you, to feel the freedom of expression, to let creativity be your overwhelming drive rather than other things. | 110 |
| Germaine Greer | Freedom is fragile and must be protected. To sacrifice it, even as a temporary measure, is to betray it. | 110 |
| Henry Cabot Lodge | Strong, generous, and confident, she has nobly served mankind. Beware how you trifle with your marvellous inheritance, this great land of ordered liberty, for if we stumble and fall freedom and civilization everywhere will go down in ruin. | 110 |
| James A. Garfield | Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained. | 110 |
| Michael J. Fox | I have no choice about whether or not I have Parkinson's. I have nothing but choices about how I react to it. In those choices, there's freedom to do a lot of things in areas that I wouldn't have otherwise found myself in. | 110 |
| Peter Marshall | May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right. | 110 |
| Ryan Gosling | Freedom is such a gift. | 110 |
| Sandra Day O'Connor | The freedom to criticize judges and other public officials is necessary to a vibrant democracy. | 110 |
| Thomas Babington Macaulay | There is only one cure for the evils which newly acquired freedom produces, and that cure is freedom. | 110 |
| Tullian Tchividjian | My failure to lay aside the sin that so easily entangles is the direct result of my refusal to die to my natural proclivity toward attaining my own freedom, meaning, value, worth, and righteousness - not believing that, by virtue of my Spirit - wrought union with Christ, everything I need, I already possess. | 110 |
| M.I.A. | Matangi's mantra is aim, which is MIA backwards. She fights for freedom of speech and stands for truth, and lives in the ghetto because her dad was the first person in Hindu mythology who came from the 'hood, but had gained enlightenment through not being a Brahmin. | 110 |
| Whittaker Chambers | On a scale personal enough to be felt by all, but big enough to be symbolic, the two irreconcilable faiths of our time - Communism and Freedom - came to grips in the persons of two conscious and resolute men. | 110 |
| Taslima Nasrin | I believe in absolute freedom of expression. Everyone has a right to offend and be offended. | 110 |
| Charles Kingsley | There are two freedoms - the false, where a man is free to do what he likes; the true, where he is free to do what he ought. | 110 |
| Marc Newson | If I can feel freedom then I can create. | 110 |
| John F. Kennedy | Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth. | 111 |
| Nelson Mandela | There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires. | 111 |
| Franklin D. Roosevelt | True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made. | 111 |
| George W. Bush | Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward, and freedom will be defended. | 111 |
| Wayne Dyer | Freedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery. | 111 |
| Christopher McCandless | Tramping is too easy with all this money. My days were more exciting when I was penniless and had to forage around for my next meal... I've decided that I'm going to live this life for some time to come. The freedom and simple beauty of it is just too good to pass up. | 111 |
| James Madison | I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. | 111 |
| William F. Buckley, Jr. | Liberals, it has been said, are generous with other peoples' money, except when it comes to questions of national survival when they prefer to be generous with other people's freedom and security. | 111 |
| Al Franken | The institutions that we've built up over the years to protect our individual privacy rights from the government don't apply to the private sector. The Fourth Amendment doesn't apply to corporations. The Freedom of Information Act doesn't apply to Silicon Valley. And you can't impeach Google if it breaks its 'Don't be evil' campaign pledge. | 111 |
| B. R. Ambedkar | So long as you do not achieve social liberty, whatever freedom is provided by the law is of no avail to you. | 111 |
| Clarence Thomas | My grandfather was a man, when he talked about freedom, his attitude was really interesting. His view was that you had obligations or you had responsibilities, and when you fulfilled those obligations or responsibilities, that then gave you the liberty to do other things. | 111 |
| Mark McKinnon | America's commitment to religious freedom and tolerance should not be conditional. | 111 |
| Pope Benedict XVI | How much we need, in the church and in society, witnesses of the beauty of holiness, witnesses of the splendour of truth, witnesses of the joy and freedom born of a living relationship with Christ! | 111 |
| Ronda Rousey | The whole 'bad girl' thing allows me to mess up sometimes. And I have freedom to say more of what I want to. | 111 |
| Rosa Luxemburg | Freedom is always the freedom of dissenters. | 111 |
| Ruth Bader Ginsburg | All respect for the office of the presidency aside, I assumed that the obvious and unadulterated decline of freedom and constitutional sovereignty, not to mention the efforts to curb the power of judicial review, spoke for itself. | 111 |
| Joseph Prince | It is the truth of grace and not of the law that brings you true freedom. The truth of the law only binds you. In fact, religious bondage is one of the most crippling bondages with which a person can be encumbered. Religious bondage keeps one in constant fear, guilt, and anxiety. | 111 |
| Kris Kristofferson | Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose. | 111 |
| Afrika Bambaataa | The Universal Zulu Nation stands to acknowledge wisdom, understanding, freedom, justice, and equality, peace, unity, love, and having fun, work, overcoming the negative through the positive, science, mathematics, faith, facts, and the wonders of God, whether we call him Allah, Jehovah, Yahweh, or Jah. | 111 |
| Pope John Paul II | When freedom does not have a purpose, when it does not wish to know anything about the rule of law engraved in the hearts of men and women, when it does not listen to the voice of conscience, it turns against humanity and society. | 112 |
| Soren Kierkegaard | People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use. | 112 |
| Anna Wintour | I don't think I am that hands-on. I'm much more of a believer in finding a great team of people and trusting them to follow their instincts. They work better when they feel they have freedom and they are trusted. | 112 |
| Anthony Hopkins | I always had a knack for improvisation. I can write down the notes I play, but never really had a proper academic musical background. I suppose I'm blessed and cursed by the fact I have that freedom. | 112 |
| Carine Roitfeld | I'm still like a butterfly going from one job to another job. But it's quite lovely - I hope to keep this freedom, to have fun. | 112 |
| Charles Kuralt | It was so much fun to have the freedom to wander America, with no assignments. For 25 or 30 years I never had an assignment. These were all stories I wanted to do myself. | 112 |
| Dave Matthews | There's a freedom to being young that is harder to come by as time goes on. | 112 |
| George Will | I suppose there's a melancholy tone at the back of the American mind, a sense of something lost. And it's the lost world of Thomas Jefferson. It is the lost sense of innocence that we could live with a very minimal state, with a vast sense of space in which to work out freedom. | 112 |
| Glenn Beck | We're giving our freedoms away. The American experiment was about freedom. Freedom to be stupid, freedom to fail, freedom to succeed. | 112 |
| Hideki Tojo | To advocate a New Order was to seek freedom and respect for peoples without prejudice, and to seek a stable basis for the existence all peoples, equally, and free of threats. | 112 |
| Joseph B. Wirthlin | In the scriptures, 'peace' means either freedom from strife, contention, conflict, or war, or an inner calm and comfort born of the Spirit that is a gift of God to all of his children, an assurance and serenity within a person's heart. | 112 |
| Kevin Spacey | Clearly the success of the Netflix model, releasing the entire season of 'House of Cards' at once, proved one thing: The audience wants the control. They want the freedom. If they want to binge as they've been doing on 'House of Cards' and lots of other shows, we should let them binge. | 112 |
| Madonna Ciccone | I stand for freedom of expression, doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams. | 112 |
| Mikhail Bakunin | Political Freedom without economic equality is a pretense, a fraud, a lie; and the workers want no lying. | 112 |
| Rollo May | Freedom is man's capacity to take a hand in his own development. It is our capacity to mold ourselves. | 112 |
| Rosa Luxemburg | Freedom only for the members of the government, only for the members of the Party - though they are quite numerous - is no freedom at all. | 112 |
| Stanley Kubrick | A filmmaker has almost the same freedom as a novelist has when he buys himself some paper. | 112 |
| Steven Pinker | Northeastern and most coastal states will vote for the candidate who is more closely aligned with international cooperation and engagement, secularism and science, gun control, individual freedom in culture and sexuality, and a greater role for the government in protecting the environment and ensuring economic equality. | 112 |
| Stokely Carmichael | No man can given anybody his freedom. | 112 |
| Judith Martin | Freedom without rules doesn't work. And communities do not work unless they are regulated by etiquette. | 112 |
| Taslima Nasrin | Those religions that are oppressive to women are also against democracy, human rights, and freedom of expression. | 112 |
| Nelson Mandela | 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. | 113 |
| Edward Snowden | I grew up with the understanding that the world I lived in was one where people enjoyed a sort of freedom to communicate with each other in privacy, without it being monitored, without it being measured or analyzed or sort of judged by these shadowy figures or systems, any time they mention anything that travels across public lines. | 113 |
| Angela Davis | We know the road to freedom has always been stalked by death. | 113 |
| David Byrne | There's a certain amount of freedom involved in cycling: you're self-propelled and decide exactly where to go. If you see something that catches your eye to the left, you can veer off there, which isn't so easy in a car, and you can't cover as much ground walking. | 113 |
| David Cameron | Today, hundreds of millions dwell in freedom, from the Baltic to the Adriatic, from the Western Approaches to the Aegean. And while we must never take this for granted, the first purpose of the European Union - to secure peace - has been achieved and we should pay tribute to all those in the EU, alongside Nato, who made that happen. | 113 |
| Edith Wharton | Old age, calm, expanded, broad with the haughty breadth of the universe, old age flowing free with the delicious near-by freedom of death. | 113 |
| Ernestine Rose | Carry out the republican principle of universal suffrage, or strike it from your banners and substitute 'Freedom and Power to one half of society, and Submission and Slavery to the other.' | 113 |
| Gary Johnson | Every time you pass a law, it is a little bite out of freedom. | 113 |
| George H. W. Bush | A new breeze is blowing, and a world refreshed by freedom seems reborn; for in man's heart, if not in fact, the day of the dictator is over. The totalitarian era is passing, its old ideas blown away like leaves from an ancient, lifeless tree. | 113 |
| John C. Calhoun | It is harder to preserve than to obtain liberty. | 113 |
| Jon Stewart | If the events of September 11, 2001, have proven anything, it's that the terrorists can attack us, but they can't take away what makes us American - our freedom, our liberty, our civil rights. No, only Attorney General John Ashcroft can do that. | 113 |
| Pope Benedict XVI | Human rights, of course, must include the right to religious freedom, understood as the expression of a dimension that is at once individual and communitarian - a vision that brings out the unity of the person while clearly distinguishing between the dimension of the citizen and that of the believer. | 113 |
| Shimon Peres | Peace with the Palestinians will open ports of peace all around the Mediterranean. The duty of leaders is to pursue freedom ceaselessly, even in the face of hostility, in the face of doubt and disappointment. Just imagine what could be. | 113 |
| Thomas Babington Macaulay | Many politicians are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim. | 113 |
| Thomas Huxley | Freedom and order are not incompatible... truth is strength... free discussion is the very life of truth. | 113 |
| Tony Blair | Anywhere, anytime ordinary people are given the chance to choose, the choice is the same: freedom, not tyranny; democracy, not dictatorship; the rule of law, not the rule of the secret police. | 113 |
| William Morris | No man is good enough to be another's master. | 113 |
| Yakov Smirnoff | My father described this tall lady who stands in the middle of the New York harbor, holding high a torch to welcome people seeking freedom in America. I instantly fell in love. | 113 |
| Andrew Young | Freedom is a struggle, and we do it together. Not only together as black citizens, but black and white together. | 113 |
| Klaus Kinski | What do you think, that a dollar in a savings account is freedom? Maybe you have understood nothing I have said. | 113 |
| Michael Korda | The freedom to fail is vital if you're going to succeed. Most successful people fail from time to time, and it is a measure of their strength that failure merely propels them into some new attempt at success. | 113 |
| Bertrand Russell | We are faced with the paradoxical fact that education has become one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought. | 114 |
| Jean-Jacques Rousseau | Free people, remember this maxim: we may acquire liberty, but it is never recovered if it is once lost. | 114 |
| Terry Pratchett | Freedom without limits is just a word. | 114 |
| Hannah Arendt | Forgiveness is the key to action and freedom. | 114 |
| Alan Dershowitz | The law is agnostic about truth. It's very skeptical of ultimate truth. That's why freedom of speech permits lies to be told. | 114 |
| Charles B. Rangel | Dr. King's famous 'I Have a Dream' speech was delivered at 'The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom,' a call to justice beyond the traditional civil rights movement's focus. | 114 |
| Henrik Ibsen | Never wear your best trousers when you go out to fight for freedom and truth. | 114 |
| Herbert Spencer | We do not commonly see in a tax a diminution of freedom, and yet it clearly is one. | 114 |
| Marianne Williamson | Today's average American is more apt to rebel against a tennis shoe not coming in the right color than against the slow erosion of our democratic freedom. | 114 |
| Paramahansa Yogananda | Only the wise know just where predestination ends and free will begins. Meanwhile, you must keep on doing your best, according to your own clearest understanding. you must long for freedom as the drowning man longs for air. Without sincere longing, you will never find God. | 114 |
| Steve Wozniak | When the Internet first came, I thought it was just the beacon of freedom. People could communicate with anyone, anywhere, and nobody could stop it. | 114 |
| James Dobson | A disturbing prospect looms before us as Americans consider the possibility of a second term for President Barack Obama. Millions of conservatives who revere the Constitution, with its guarantees of freedom and limited government, have watched with alarm as the campaign season has unfolded. | 114 |
| Ernest Renan | The liberty of the individual is a necessary postulate of human progress. | 114 |
| Martin Luther King, Jr. | Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent. | 115 |
| Jim Morrison | I am interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos-especially activity that seems to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom... Rather than starting inside, I start outside and reach the mental through the physical. | 115 |
| Vladimir Lenin | Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners. | 115 |
| John Adams | When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more. | 115 |
| Marcus Garvey | Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds! | 115 |
| Milton Friedman | The only way that has ever been discovered to have a lot of people cooperate together voluntarily is through the free market. And that's why it's so essential to preserving individual freedom. | 115 |
| Bill Burr | Podcasting is great. Total freedom. | 115 |
| Bill Maher | Freedom isn't free. It shouldn't be a bragging point that 'Oh, I don't get involved in politics,' as if that makes someone cleaner. No, that makes you derelict of duty in a republic. Liars and panderers in government would have a much harder time of it if so many people didn't insist on their right to remain ignorant and blindly agreeable. | 115 |
| Friedrich August von Hayek | Freedom granted only when it is known beforehand that its effects will be beneficial is not freedom. | 115 |
| Friedrich Schiller | Art is the daughter of freedom. | 115 |
| George H. W. Bush | We know what works. Freedom Works. We know what's right. Freedom is right. | 115 |
| Isabel Allende | All stories interest me, and some haunt me until I end up writing them. Certain themes keep coming up: justice, loyalty, violence, death, political and social issues, freedom. | 115 |
| Mitt Romney | We believe in individual initiative, personal responsibility, opportunity, freedom, small government, the Constitution. These principles, these American principles are key to getting our economy back to being successful and leading the world. | 115 |
| Quentin Tarantino | Novelists have always had complete freedom to pretty much tell their story any way they saw fit. And that's what I'm trying to do. | 115 |
| Thabo Mbeki | As a consequence of the victories we have registered during our first ten years of freedom, we have laid a firm foundation for the new advances we must and will make during the next decade. | 115 |
| Thornton Wilder | The more decisions that you are forced to make alone, the more you are aware of your freedom to choose. | 115 |
| Vint Cerf | History is rife with examples of governments taking actions to 'protect' their citizens from harm by controlling access to information and inhibiting freedom of expression and other freedoms outlined in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We must make sure, collectively, that the Internet avoids a similar fate. | 115 |
| Arthur Erickson | Modernism released us from the constraints of everything that had gone before with a euphoric sense of freedom. | 115 |
| Sloane Crosley | The year most of my high school friends and I got our driver's permits, the coolest thing one could do was stand outside after school and twirl one's car keys like a lifeguard whistle. That jingling sound meant freedom and power. | 115 |
| John Stuart Mill | Pleasure and freedom from pain, are the only things desirable as ends. | 116 |
| Noam Chomsky | If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all. | 116 |
| Vladimir Lenin | When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time; one must always go forward - or go back. He who now talks about the 'freedom of the press' goes backward, and halts our headlong course towards Socialism. | 116 |
| Milton Friedman | Every friend of freedom must be as revolted as I am by the prospect of turning the United States into an armed camp, by the vision of jails filled with casual drug users and of an army of enforcers empowered to invade the liberty of citizens on slight evidence. | 116 |
| Channing Tatum | I can completely lose myself into just absolutely satisfying things - a really amazing cheeseburger, a pizza, good fries, a beer. I enjoy being comfortable and eating whatever the hell I like. It's a big thing for me, just having the freedom to be able to do that. | 116 |
| Tertullian | You cannot parcel out freedom in pieces because freedom is all or nothing. | 116 |
| Archibald MacLeish | Freedom is the right to one's dignity as a man. | 116 |
| John Boehner | The job of training an Iraqi police force is one of the most important tasks being undertaken in Operation Iraqi Freedom. It is also one of the most difficult. | 116 |
| Sidonie Gabrielle Colette | There are days when solitude is a heady wine that intoxicates you with freedom, others when it is a bitter tonic, and still others when it is a poison that makes you beat your head against the wall. | 116 |
| John Ralston Saul | Freedom - an occupied space which must be reoccupied every day. | 116 |
| Winston Churchill | All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope. | 117 |
| Antoine de Saint-Exupery | I know but one freedom, and that is the freedom of the mind. | 117 |
| Jada Pinkett Smith | Art should never be limited - the beauty of art is that it gives us the freedom to go places where we wouldn't go to in our normal lives. Inside, I'm just so many different people. I go from the pretty girl on the red carpet to the singer at Ozzfest, spitting in the crowd. That's Jada. | 117 |
| Lech Walesa | Communism is a monopolistic system, economically and politically. The system suppresses individual initiative, and the 21st century is all about individualism and freedom. The development of technology supported these directions. | 117 |
| Pericles | Freedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it. | 117 |
| Pythagoras | As soon as laws are necessary for men, they are no longer fit for freedom. | 117 |
| Rafael Nadal | I used to wear sleeveless T-shirts all the time on court, but now I've got a brand new look - I've moved on to polo shirts. Sleeveless T-shirts give you real freedom of movement and they keep you cooler in matches, but I just thought it was time for a change. | 117 |
| Kurt Cobain | Punk is musical freedom. It's saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster's terms, 'nirvana' means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that's pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock. | 118 |
| Herbert Hoover | Freedom is the open window through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and human dignity. | 118 |
| Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn | Woe to that nation whose literature is cut short by the intrusion of force. This is not merely interference with freedom of the press but the sealing up of a nation's heart, the excision of its memory. | 118 |
| Dan Gable | Many of those who have paid the ultimate price for freedom have come through the wrestling ranks. We need to honor them and win this decision to have wrestling - the world's oldest sport - remain a part of the most prestigious athletic competition in the world, the Olympics. | 118 |
| David Suzuki | We need love, and to ensure love, we need to have full employment, and we need social justice. We need gender equity. We need freedom from hunger. These are our most fundamental needs as social creatures. | 118 |
| Haruki Murakami | Among the many values in life, I appreciate freedom most. | 118 |
| Jesse Ventura | There are lots of people out there who think they know the truth about God and religion, but does anybody really know for sure? That's why the founding fathers built freedom of religious belief into the structure of this nation, so that everybody could make up their minds for themselves. | 118 |
| Jose Rizal | Routine is a declivity down which many governments slide, and routine says that freedom of the press is dangerous. | 118 |
| Kailash Satyarthi | Today it is time for every child to have a right to life, right to freedom, right to health, right to education, safety, the right to dignity, right to equality, and right to peace. | 118 |
| Vint Cerf | Remember, 'governance' is a big word that includes human rights, freedom of speech, economic transactions on a worldwide basis - it touches everything. It's everywhere, and that's why Internet governance is Topic A in many corners. | 118 |
| Tariq Ramadan | Our emotions are often beautiful, but they can also be dangerous. They represent our spontaneity, and seem to speak to us of our freedom. | 118 |
| John Stuart Mill | The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good, in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. | 119 |
| Sigmund Freud | Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility. | 119 |
| Bryant H. McGill | True freedom is where an individual's thoughts and actions are in alignment with that which is true, correct, and of honor - no matter the personal price. | 119 |
| Felix Frankfurter | Freedom of the press is not an end in itself but a means to the end of achieving a free society. | 119 |
| Graham Greene | Heresy is another word for freedom of thought. | 119 |
| Kevin O'Leary | Money equals freedom. | 119 |
| Kirsten Dunst | Doing 'All Good Things' really felt like I was acting for myself rather than anyone else. It gave me a freedom I'd never had before, or knew I had, to do whatever I want to, and to argue my opinions and not just feel like the cute girl on set or the girl in a boy's club. I figured out how I could be both. And it's been different ever since. | 119 |
| Lech Walesa | I most sincerely wish that the world in which we live be free from the threat of a nuclear holocaust and from the ruinous arms race. It is my cherished desire that peace be not separated from freedom which is the right of every nation. This I desire and for this I pray. | 119 |
| Mikhail Bakunin | The freedom of all is essential to my freedom. | 119 |
| Sting | One of the rewards of success is freedom, the ability to do whatever you like. | 119 |
| Theodor Herzl | We believe that salvation is to be found in wholesome work in a beloved land. Work will provide our people with the bread of tomorrow, and moreover, with the honor of the tomorrow, the freedom of the tomorrow. | 119 |
| Leo Buscaglia | If we wish to free ourselves from enslavement, we must choose freedom and the responsibility this entails. | 120 |
| Pope John Paul II | Pervading nationalism imposes its dominion on man today in many different forms and with an aggressiveness that spares no one. The challenge that is already with us is the temptation to accept as true freedom what in reality is only a new form of slavery. | 120 |
| Richard Branson | I love the freedom of movement that my phone gives me. That has definitely transformed my life. | 120 |
| Soren Kierkegaard | How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech. | 120 |
| Thomas Paine | Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it. | 120 |
| Alan Dershowitz | The threat or fear of violence should not become an excuse or justification for restricting freedom of speech. | 120 |
| Clarence Darrow | You can only be free if I am free. | 120 |
| Larry David | When you're not concerned with succeeding, you can work with complete freedom. | 120 |
| Lord Acton | Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. | 120 |
| Mikhail Bakunin | Freedom, morality, and the human dignity of the individual consists precisely in this; that he does good not because he is forced to do so, but because he freely conceives it, wants it, and loves it. | 120 |
| Patti Smith | To me, punk rock is the freedom to create, freedom to be successful, freedom to not be successful, freedom to be who you are. It's freedom. | 120 |
| Richard M. Nixon | Americans admire a people who can scratch a desert and produce a garden. The Israelis have shown qualities that Americans identify with: guts, patriotism, idealism, a passion for freedom. I have seen it. I know. I believe that. | 121 |
| Neil Gaiman | A nice, easy place for freedom of speech to be eroded is comics, because comics are a natural target whenever an election comes up. | 121 |
| Herbert Hoover | Within the soul of America is freedom of mind and spirit in man. Here alone are the open windows through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit. Here alone is human dignity not a dream but an accomplishment. Perhaps it is not perfect, but it is more full in realization here than any other place in the world. | 121 |
| Milton Friedman | Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself. | 121 |
| Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. | If there is any principle of the Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other it is the principle of free thought, not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate. | 121 |
| Oprah Winfrey | Books were my pass to personal freedom. I learned to read at age three, and soon discovered there was a whole world to conquer that went beyond our farm in Mississippi. | 121 |
| John Milton | None can love freedom heartily, but good men; the rest love not freedom, but licence. | 121 |
| Pope Benedict XVI | A just laicism allows religious freedom. The state does not impose religion but rather gives space to religions with a responsibility toward civil society, and therefore it allows these religions to be factors in building up society. | 121 |
| John Irving | I don't think I've had a very interesting life, and I feel that is a great liberation. That gives me great freedom as a fiction writer. Nothing that happened holds any special tyranny over me. | 121 |
| Gloria Steinem | Nothing changes the gender equation more significantly than women's economic freedom. | 122 |
| Jim Morrison | I'm interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos, especially activity that appears to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom. | 122 |
| Karl Marx | Necessity is blind until it becomes conscious. Freedom is the consciousness of necessity. | 122 |
| Robert Kennedy | America's answer to the intolerant man is diversity - the very diversity which our heritage of religious freedom has inspired. | 122 |
| Vladimir Lenin | No amount of political freedom will satisfy the hungry masses. | 122 |
| David Icke | And why do we, who say we oppose tyranny and demand freedom of speech, allow people to go to prison and be vilified, and magazines to be closed down on the spot, for suggesting another version of history. | 122 |
| Elbert Hubbard | Every tyrant who has lived has believed in freedom for himself. | 122 |
| Alice Walker | When I joined the freedom movement in Mississippi in my early 20s, it was to come to the aid of sharecroppers, like my parents, who had been thrown off the land they'd always known - the plantations - because they attempted to exercise their 'democratic' right to vote. | 122 |
| Sharon Salzberg | To remember non-attachment is to remember what freedom is all about. If we get attached, even to a beautiful state of being, we are caught, and ultimately we will suffer. We work to observe anything that comes our way, experience it while it is here, and be able to let go of it. | 122 |
| Monica Johnson | Forget the conspiracy theories! God gave us the right to vote, and He gave the United States, and all of its citizens, freedom through democracy. | 122 |
| Baruch Spinoza | Freedom is absolutely necessary for the progress in science and the liberal arts. | 123 |
| Frederick Douglass | I am a Republican, a black, dyed in the wool Republican, and I never intend to belong to any other party than the party of freedom and progress. | 123 |
| Lucius Annaeus Seneca | Shall I tell you what the real evil is? To cringe to the things that are called evils, to surrender to them our freedom, in defiance of which we ought to face any suffering. | 123 |
| Thomas Paine | To say that any people are not fit for freedom, is to make poverty their choice, and to say they had rather be loaded with taxes than not. | 123 |
| Camille Paglia | It is capitalist America that produced the modern independent woman. Never in history have women had more freedom of choice in regard to dress, behavior, career, and sexual orientation. | 123 |
| Mortimer Adler | Freedom is the emancipation from the arbitrary rule of other men. | 123 |
| Muhammad Ali Jinnah | That freedom can never be attained by a nation without suffering and sacrifice has been amply borne out by the recent tragic happenings in this subcontinent. | 123 |
| Peter Ustinov | In America, through pressure of conformity, there is freedom of choice, but nothing to choose from. | 123 |
| Robert H. Schuller | I have a reputation worldwide of being tolerant of all people and their views. I'm too well-educated to criticize a certain religion or group of people for what they believe in. It's called freedom. | 123 |
| Roger Ebert | I begin to feel like most Americans don't understand the First Amendment, don't understand the idea of freedom of speech, and don't understand that it's the responsibility of the citizen to speak out. | 123 |
| Wendell Phillips | Whether in chains or in laurels, liberty knows nothing but victories. | 123 |
| Aldous Huxley | Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty - his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure. | 124 |
| Ayn Rand | Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men. | 124 |
| Vladimir Lenin | When there is state there can be no freedom, but when there is freedom there will be no state. | 124 |
| Vivienne Westwood | My children came out as individuals in their own right. They were not my products. They had their own characters and were very strong-minded. I gave them a lot of freedom when they were still very young. The one thing they got from me is morals. They would never betray anyone. They are really good people. | 124 |
| James Madison | It is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad. | 124 |
| John Wayne | I'd read up on the history of our country and I'd become fascinated with the story of the Alamo. To me it represented the fight for freedom, not just in America, but in all countries. | 124 |
| William Wordsworth | How does the Meadow flower its bloom unfold? Because the lovely little flower is free down to its root, and in that freedom bold. | 124 |
| Lech Walesa | You have riches and freedom here but I feel no sense of faith or direction. You have so many computers, why don't you use them in the search for love? | 124 |
| Mick Jagger | I am conservative with a small 'c.' It's possible to be conservative in fiscal policy, and tolerant on moral issues or questions of freedom of expression. | 124 |
| Thom Yorke | One of the interesting things here is that the people who should be shaping the future are politicians. But the political framework itself is so dead and closed that people look to other sources, like artists, because art and music allow people a certain freedom. | 124 |
| W. Somerset Maugham | There are two good things in life - freedom of thought and freedom of action. | 124 |
| Tariq Ramadan | Our democratic societies are in danger. In allowing ourselves to be infiltrated by fear, to be blinded by the passion of identity, we are entertaining the most serious illusions about our freedom. | 124 |
| Abraham Lincoln | Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it. | 125 |
| John F. Kennedy | The best road to progress is freedom's road. | 125 |
| Ronald Reagan | Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged. | 125 |
| George Carlin | Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they? | 125 |
| Malcolm X | You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom. | 125 |
| Ice Cube | Music is where I have the most creative freedom, but I love producing. To me, that's kind of where all the action is. You get a chance to have your hands in every aspect of a film. From picking a director, sometimes picking a writer, to the actors, the wardrobe, set design, editing, music, and marketing. | 125 |
| Blake Lively | I went straight from high school to 'Gossip Girl,' and both were very structured, scheduled environments, so I never had freedom to explore and carve my own path. | 125 |
| Erich Fromm | There can be no real freedom without the freedom to fail. | 125 |
| John Henrik Clarke | We have been educated into believing someone else's concept of the deity, and someone else's standard of beauty. You have the right to practice any religion and politics in a way that best suits your freedom, your dignity, and your understanding. And once you do that, you don't apologize. | 125 |
| Madeleine Albright | We will not be intimidated or pushed off the world stage by people who do not like what we stand for, and that is, freedom, democracy and the fight against disease, poverty and terrorism. | 125 |
| Ron Paul | You don't have freedom because you are a hyphenated American; you have freedom because you are an individual, and that should be protected. | 125 |
| Willie Nelson | America, to me, is freedom. | 125 |
| Eminem | I think my first album opened a lot of doors for me to push the freedom of speech to the limit. | 126 |
| Harry S Truman | The United Nations is designed to make possible lasting freedom and independence for all its members. | 126 |
| Marcel Proust | As long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost and science can never regress. | 126 |
| John Henrik Clarke | Anytime someone says your God is ugly and you release your God and join their God, there is no hope for your freedom until you once more believe in your own concept of the 'deity.' | 126 |
| Paul Walker | I want to have the freedom to do whatever I want. | 126 |
| Dwight D. Eisenhower | There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure. | 201 |
| George Bernard Shaw | Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it. | 201 |
| W. E. B. Du Bois | Most men today cannot conceive of a freedom that does not involve somebody's slavery. | 201 |
| Stephen Fry | I am a lover of truth, a worshipper of freedom, a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and tolerance. | 201 |
| Eleanor Roosevelt | Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect. | 202 |
| Douglas Adams | I think that growing up in a crowded continent like Europe with an awful lot of competing claims, ideas... cultures... and systems of thought, we have, perforce, developed a more sophisticated notion of what the word 'freedom' means than I see much evidence of in America. | 202 |
| Edmund Burke | But what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint. | 202 |
| Malala Yousafzai | My father always said, 'Malala will be free as a bird.' | 202 |
| Robert Kennedy | Whenever men take the law into their own hands, the loser is the law. And when the law loses, freedom languishes. | 202 |
| Cara Delevingne | Kids should speak to each other. They're horrid to each other online, they bully each other - they should shut up and stop it. The problem with social media is there is too much freedom. It's too much, too young. | 202 |
| Diogenes | I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world. | 202 |
| Frederick Douglass | Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. | 203 |
| George W. Bush | For all who love freedom and peace, the world without Saddam Hussein's regime is a better and safer place. | 203 |
| H. P. Lovecraft | Cats are the runes of beauty, invincibility, wonder, pride, freedom, coldness, self-sufficiency, and dainty individuality - the qualities of sensitive, enlightened, mentally developed, pagan, cynical, poetic, philosophic, dispassionate, reserved, independent, Nietzschean, unbroken, civilised, master-class men. | 203 |
| Malcolm X | If you're not ready to die for it, put the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary. | 203 |
| John Adams | There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty. | 203 |
| Milton Friedman | History suggests that capitalism is a necessary condition for political freedom. Clearly it is not a sufficient condition. | 203 |
| Alan Dershowitz | Being offended by freedom of speech should never be regarded as a justification for violence. | 203 |
| Bryant H. McGill | It is better to lose everything you have to keep the balance of justice level, than to live a life of petty privilege devoid of true freedom. | 203 |
| John F. Kennedy | We cannot expect that all nations will adopt like systems, for conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth. | 204 |
| Rabindranath Tagore | We gain freedom when we have paid the full price. | 204 |
| Bear Grylls | I loved climbing because of the freedom, and having time and space. I remember coming off Everest for the last time, thinking of Dad and wishing that he could have seen what I saw. He would have loved it. | 204 |
| Ben Carson | Here's a nation, one of the founding pillars was freedom of speech and freedom of expression. And yet, we have imposed upon people restrictions on what they can say, on what they can think. And the media is the largest proponent of this, crucifying people who say things really quite innocently. | 204 |
| Dennis Prager | Hamas is a terrorist organization dedicated to annihilating the Jewish state. It runs a theocratic totalitarian state in Gaza, with no individual liberty, and no freedom of speech or press. | 204 |
| Elbert Hubbard | Responsibility is the price of freedom. | 204 |
| Michael Moore | Capitalism is against the things that we say we believe in - democracy, freedom of choice, fairness. It's not about any of those things now. It's about protecting the wealthy and legalizing greed. | 204 |
| Salman Rushdie | It seems that the right of freedom of speech that was enshrined in numerous constitutions is now under attack by religious institutions. | 204 |
| Ralph Waldo Emerson | I think we must get rid of slavery, or we must get rid of freedom. | 205 |
| Aldous Huxley | The worst enemy of life, freedom and the common decencies is total anarchy; their second worst enemy is total efficiency. | 205 |
| Malcolm X | You don't have to be a man to fight for freedom. All you have to do is to be an intelligent human being. | 205 |
| Adlai E. Stevenson | Freedom rings where opinions clash. | 205 |
| Dag Hammarskjold | 'Freedom from fear' could be said to sum up the whole philosophy of human rights. | 205 |
| John Updike | America is beyond power; it acts as in a dream, as a face of God. Wherever America is, there is freedom, and wherever America is not, madness rules with chains, darkness strangles millions. Beneath her patient bombers, paradise is possible. | 205 |
| Benjamin Franklin | Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom - and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech. | 206 |
| Frank Lloyd Wright | Freedom is from within. | 206 |
| Gloria Steinem | Age brings a freedom. When you're young, you're much more subject to the idea of what feminine is or how you should look or how you should behave. | 206 |
| Rabindranath Tagore | Emancipation from the bondage of the soil is no freedom for the tree. | 206 |

| George W. Bush | The wisest use of American strength is to advance freedom. | 207 |
| Walt Whitman | Freedom - to walk free and own no superior. | 207 |
| Marcus Tullius Cicero | What then is freedom? The power to live as one wishes. | 207 |
| Ezra Taft Benson | I am a witness to nations and people deprived of their freedom. I was there. I watched that great Iron Curtain drop around nations which formerly had prized their freedom - good people. I was aghast as these were written off by the stroke of a pen. | 207 |
| Theodore Roosevelt | Order without liberty and liberty without order are equally destructive. | 208 |
| Kurt Vonnegut | What troubles me most about my lovely country is that its children are seldom taught that American freedom will vanish, if, when they grow up, and in the exercise of their duties as citizens, they insist that our courts and policemen and prisons be guided by divine or natural law. | 208 |
| Tom Stoppard | I was interested by the idea that artists working in a totalitarian dictatorship or tsarist autocracy are secretly and slightly shamefully envied by artists who work in freedom. They have the gratification of intense interest: the authorities want to put them in jail, while there are younger readers for whom what they write is pure oxygen. | 208 |
| Martin Luther King, Jr. | Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. | 209 |
| Nelson Mandela | There is no such thing as part freedom. | 209 |
| Robert A. Heinlein | You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. | 209 |
| Pearl S. Buck | None who have always been free can understand the terrible fascinating power of the hope of freedom to those who are not free. | 209 |
| D. H. Lawrence | Men are freest when they are most unconscious of freedom. The shout is a rattling of chains, always was. | 210 |
| Adlai E. Stevenson | A hungry man is not a free man. | 210 |
| Albert Camus | A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad. | 211 |
| Charles Dickens | I only ask to be free. The butterflies are free. | 211 |
| Virginia Woolf | To enjoy freedom we have to control ourselves. | 211 |
| Johnny Depp | There are necessary evils. Money is an important thing in terms of representing freedom in our world. And now I have a daughter to think about. It's really the first time I've thought about the future and what it could be. | 211 |
| Emile M. Cioran | No one can enjoy freedom without trembling. | 211 |
| Sigmund Freud | Analysis does not set out to make pathological reactions impossible, but to give the patient's ego freedom to decide one way or another. | 212 |
| Robert Kiyosaki | It's time to start thinking differently about money and debt and start the healing process - and the process toward wealth and freedom. 'Freedom from Bad Debt' can get you started. | 212 |
| Kurt Vonnegut | Who is more to be pitied, a writer bound and gagged by policemen or one living in perfect freedom who has nothing more to say? | 213 |
| Dwight D. Eisenhower | 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. | 214 |
| Douglas Adams | To be frank, it sometimes seems that the American idea of freedom has more to do with my freedom to do what I want than your freedom to do what you want.

| James Madison | No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare. | 215 |

| George W. Bush | Everywhere that freedom stirs, let tyrants fear. | 218 |
| Robert Frost | The only certain freedom's in departure. | 218 |
| Ban Ki-moon | Freedom is a timeless value. The United Nations Charter calls for encouraging respect for fundamental freedoms. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights mentions freedom more than twenty times. All countries have committed to protecting individual freedoms on paper - but in practice, too many break their pledge. | 218 |
| Marco Rubio | What is the conservative movement? It's pretty straightforward. We believe that the way prosperity is created is when people have the freedom and the opportunity to pursue their dreams. | 218 |
| Martin Luther King, Jr. | Oppressed people cannot remain oppressed forever. The yearning for freedom eventually manifests itself. | 219 |
| Theodore Roosevelt | Freedom from effort in the present merely means that there has been effort stored up in the past. | 219 |

| Epictetus | Freedom is the right to live as we wish. | 221 |
| Noam Chomsky | In many respects, the United States is a great country. Freedom of speech is protected more than in any other country. It is also a very free society. | 221 |
| Dwight D. Eisenhower | History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. | 222 |
| Nelson Mandela | Where globalization means, as it so often does, that the rich and powerful now have new means to further enrich and empower themselves at the cost of the poorer and weaker, we have a responsibility to protest in the name of universal freedom. | 223 |
| Jules Verne | Liberty is worth paying for. | 223 |
| Nelson Mandela | Our single most important challenge is therefore to help establish a social order in which the freedom of the individual will truly mean the freedom of the individual. | 224 |
| Malcolm X | Power in defense of freedom is greater than power in behalf of tyranny and oppression, because power, real power, comes from our conviction which produces action, uncompromising action. | 225 |
| Thomas Sowell | Freedom has cost too much blood and agony to be relinquished at the cheap price of rhetoric. | 226 |
| Bob Dylan | I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom. | 302 |

| Victor Hugo | Liberation is not deliverance. | 306 |
| Nelson Mandela | Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement. | 307 |

| Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. | 311 |
| Lyndon B. Johnson | Freedom is not enough. | 312 |

| Robert Green Ingersoll | The more liberty you give away the more you will have. | 314 |
| Billy Graham | I don't have freedom in the United States to go into a public school and preach the Gospel, nor is a student free in a public school to pray, or a teacher free to read the Bible publicly to the students. At the same time, we have a great degree of freedom for which I am grateful. | 315 |
| Hillary Clinton | There are 4 billion cell phones in use today. Many of them are in the hands of market vendors, rickshaw drivers, and others who've historically lacked access to education and opportunity. Information networks have become a great leveler, and we should use them together to help lift people out of poverty and give them a freedom from want. | 315 |
| Mahatma Gandhi | Violent means will give violent freedom. That would be a menace to the world and to India herself. | 316 |
| Franklin D. Roosevelt | The only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over the goverment. | 316 |
| Gilbert K. Chesterton | The family is the test of freedom; because the family is the only thing that the free man makes for himself and by himself. | 316 |

| Nelson Mandela | The names of Dingane and Bambata, Hintsa and Makana, Squngthi and Dalasile, Moshoeshoe and Sekhukhuni, were praised as the glory of the entire African nation. I hoped then that life might offer me the opportunity to serve my people and make my own humble contribution to their freedom struggle. | 319 |
| Martin Luther King, Jr. | The sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. | 321 |

| Malcolm X | I believe in a religion that believes in freedom. Any time I have to accept a religion that won't let me fight a battle for my people, I say to hell with that religion. | 321 |
| Dan Quayle | I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy - but that could change. | 322 |
| George W. Bush | The momentum of freedom in our world is unmistakable - and it is not carried forward by our power alone. We can trust in that greater power Who guides the unfolding of the years. And in all that is to come, we can know that His purposes are just and true. | 322 |
| Edmund Burke | Liberty must be limited in order to be possessed. | 323 |
| Salman Rushdie | What is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist. | 323 |
| John F. Kennedy | All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin. And therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words 'Ich bin ein Berliner!' | 324 |
| Joyce Meyer | Each time we cooperate with God, we take one more giant step forward. Because when God asks us to change, it means that He always has something better to give us - more freedom, greater joy, and greater blessings. | 326 |
| David Bowie | I find only freedom in the realms of eccentricity. | 401 |
| Bertrand Russell | Freedom of opinion can only exist when the government thinks itself secure. | 402 |
| John F. Kennedy | Israel was not created in order to disappear - Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom. | 407 |
| John F. Kennedy | The path we have chosen for the present is full of hazards, as all paths are. The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission. | 408 |
| Abraham Lincoln | We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. | 410 |
| Malala Yousafzai | I think I have a right to live my life the way I like. | 413 |

| Mahatma Gandhi | Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. | 504 |
| Donald Trump | We have to go see Bill Gates and a lot of different people that really understand what's happening. We have to talk to them, maybe in certain areas, closing that Internet up in some way. Somebody will say, 'Oh, freedom of speech, freedom of speech.' These are foolish people. We have a lot of foolish people. | 507 |
| H. L. Mencken | We must be willing to pay a price for freedom. | 507 |
| Samuel Johnson | All theory is against freedom of the will; all experience for it. | 507 |
| Noam Chomsky | In this possibly terminal phase of human existence, democracy and freedom are more than just ideals to be valued - they may be essential to survival. | 510 |
| Abraham Lincoln | Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world. | 515 |
| Marilyn Monroe | I am involved in a freedom ride protesting the loss of the minority rights belonging to the few remaining earthbound stars. All we demanded was our right to twinkle. | 521 |
| Marcus Tullius Cicero | Freedom is a man's natural power of doing what he pleases, so far as he is not prevented by force or law. | 611 |
| Abraham Lincoln | In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free - honorable alike in that we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth. | 612 |
| Thomas Jefferson | The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave. | 617 |
| Mahatma Gandhi | Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living? | 802 |
