Freedom

What a curious phenomenon it is that you can get men to die for the liberty of the world who will not make the little sacrifice that is needed to free themselves from their own individual bondage.
- Barton, Bruce
Freedom Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Freedom

1.
A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.
Pound, Ezra

2.
Democracy arose from men's thinking that if they are equal in any respect, they are equal absolutely.
Aristotle

3.
Only our individual faith in freedom can keep us free.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

4.
The fly that touches honey cannot use it's wings; so too the soul that clings to spiritual sweetness ruins it's freedom and hinders contemplation.
Aurobindo, Ghose

5.
Women, like men, ought to have their youth so glutted with freedom they hate the very idea of freedom.
Sackville-West, Vita

6.
A people which is able to say everything becomes able to do everything.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

7.
Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

8.
Within yourself deliverance must be searched for, because each man makes his own prison.
Arnold, Sir Edwin

9.
All theory is against freedom of the will; all experience for it.
Johnson, Samuel

10.
If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.
Chomsky, Noam

11.
A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.
Friedman, Milton

12.
Mankind has a free will; but it is free to milk cows and to build houses, nothing more.
Luther, Martin

13.
When we were told that by freedom we understood free enterprise, we did very little to dispel this monstrous falsehood. Wealth and economic well-being, we have asserted, are the fruits of freedom, while we should have been the first to know that this kind of happiness has been an unmixed blessing only in this country, and it is a minor blessing compared with the truly political freedoms, such as freedom of speech and thought, of assembly and association, even under the best conditions.
Arendt, Hannah

14.
The bigger the information media, the less courage and freedom they allow. Bigness means weakness.
Sevareid, Eric

15.
The only conception of freedom I can have is that of the prisoner or the individual in the midst of the State. The only one I know is freedom of thought and action.
Camus, Albert

16.
Freedom is the right to live as we wish.
Epictetus

17.
The more internal freedom you achieve, the more you want: it is more fun to be happy than sad, more enjoyable to choose your own emotions than to have them inflicted on you by mechanical glandular processes, more pleasurable to solve your problems than to be stuck with them forever.
Wilson, Robert

18.
Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.
Covey, Stephen R.

19.
Freedom is poetry, taking liberties with words, breaking the rules of normal speech, violating common sense. Freedom is violence.
Brown, Norman O.

20.
Freedom is the emancipation from the arbitrary rule of other men.
Adler, Mortimer J.

21.
When a person places the proper value on freedom, there is nothing under the sun that he will not do to acquire that freedom. Whenever you hear a man saying he wants freedom, but in the next breath he is going to tell you what he won't do to get it, or what he doesn't believe in doing in order to get it, he doesn't believe in freedom. A man who believes in freedom will do anything under the sun to acquire... or preserve his freedom.
Malcolm X

22.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end.
Lord Acton

23.
Emancipation from the bondage of the soil is no freedom for the tree.
Tagore, Rabindranath

24.
If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other.
Carl Schurz

25.
Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward.
Patricia Sampson

26.
Yesterday the greatest question was decided which ever was debated in America; and a greater perhaps never was, nor will be, decided among men. A resolution was passed without one dissenting colony, that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States.
Adams, John

27.
The oppression of any people for opinion's sake has rarely had any other effect than to fix those opinions deeper, and render them more important.
Ballou, Hosea

28.
How is freedom measured, in individuals as in nations? By the resistance which has to be overcome, by the effort it costs to stay aloft. One would have to seek the highest type of free man where the greatest resistance is constantly being overcome: five steps from tyranny, near the threshold of the danger of servitude.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

29.
What a curious phenomenon it is that you can get men to die for the liberty of the world who will not make the little sacrifice that is needed to free themselves from their own individual bondage.
Barton, Bruce

30.
History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

31.
In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

32.
No one who lives in error is free.
Euripides

33.
Freedom is hunting, feeding, danger; that, that is freedom --that it is which makes the veins to swell, the breast to heave and glowaye,that is freedom, --that is pleasure --life!
Lovell, Marie

34.
We hold in our hands, the most precious gift of all: Freedom. The freedom to express our art. Our love. The freedom to be who we want to be. We are not going to give that freedom away and no one shall take it from us!
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider

35.
The grass is always greener where the fence isn't.

36.
No one is truly free, they are a slave to wealth, fortune, the law, or other people restraining them from acting according to their will.
Euripides

37.
To know what you prefer instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive.
Robert Louis Stevenson

38.
Freedom is an internal achievement rather than an external adjustment.
Powell, Adam Clayton

39.
It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them.
Mark Twain

40.
He who is brave is free.
Seneca

41.
No matter what a man does, he is not fully sane or human unless there is a spirit of freedom in him, a soul unconfined by purpose and larger than the practicable world.
Cooley, Charles Horton

42.
There's only one free person in this society, and he is white and male.
Scott, Hazel

43.
It is not good to be too free. It is not good to have everything one wants.
Pascal, Blaise

44.
The clash of ideas is the sound of freedom.
Johnson, Lady Bird

45.
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.
Maugham, W. Somerset

46.
Freedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery.
Dyer, Wayne

47.
It is quite impossible to guarantee world peace. But is should be possible to guarantee world freedom.

48.
Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.
Herbert, Frank

49.
When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of that old Negro spiritual, Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!
King Jr. Martin Luther

50.
The free way of life proposes ends, but it does not prescribe means.
Kennedy, Robert F.
