Motivational Quotes

Freedom

For me, the principal fact of life is the free mind. For good and evil, man is a free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity. A perpetually new and lively world, but a dangerous one, full of tragedy and injustice. A world in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances, new arts and new inventions against the old establishment.
- Cary, Joyce
Freedom Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Freedom

1.
The foolish and the uneducated have little use for freedom.

2.
What we want is not freedom but its appearances. It is for these simulacra that man has always striven. And since freedom, as has been said, is no more than a sensation, what difference is there between being free and believing ourselves free?
Cioran, E. M.

3.
What most clearly characterizes true freedom and its true employment is its misemployment.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

4.
Is any man free except the one who can pass his life as he pleases?
Persius

5.
The only way we'll get freedom for ourselves is to identify ourselves with every oppressed people in the world. We are blood brothers to the people of Brazil, Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba -- yes Cuba too.
Malcolm X

6.
If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.
Washington, George

7.
We look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way. The third is freedom from want. The fourth is freedom from fear.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

8.
The freedom of the press works in such a way that there is not much freedom from it.
Kelly, Grace (Patricia)

9.
If we catch a glimpse of freedom, we wish to possess it; if we catch a glimpse of death, we want nothing to do with it. One we cannot have, the other we cannot avoid.
Johnson, Jeremy P.

10.
Tyrants have not yet discovered any chains that can fetter the mind.
Colton, Charles Caleb

11.
When the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again.
Hamilton, Edith

12.
I sometimes think that the price of liberty is not so much eternal vigilance as eternal dirt.
Orwell, George

13.
We who officially value freedom of speech above life itself seem to have nothing to talk about but the weather.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

14.
The law will never make men free, it is men that have to make the law free.
Thoreau, Henry David

15.
The progress of freedom depends more upon the maintenance of peace, the spread of commerce, and the diffusion of education, than upon the labors of cabinets and foreign offices.
Cobden, Richard

16.
In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

17.
Liberty is one of the most precious gifts which heaven has bestowed on man; with it we cannot compare the treasures which the earth contains or the sea conceals; for liberty, as for honor, we can and ought to risk our lives; and, on for the other hand, captivity is the greatest evil that can befall man.
Cervantes, Miguel De

18.
Freedom is but the possibility of a various and indefinite activity; while government, or the exercise of dominion, is a single, yet real activity. The longing for freedom, therefore, is at first only too frequently suggested by the deep-felt consciousness of its absence.
Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von

19.
A country cannot subsist well without liberty, nor liberty without virtue.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

20.
It will free man from his remaining chains, the chains of gravity which still tie him to this planet. It will open to him the gates of heaven.
Braun, Wernher Von

21.
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.
Kingsley, Charles

22.
A hungry man is not a free man.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

23.
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

24.
The bigger the information media, the less courage and freedom they allow. Bigness means weakness.
Sevareid, Eric

25.
I gave my life for freedom --this I know: For those who bade me fight had told me so.
Ewer, W. N.

26.
None can love freedom heartily, but good men... the rest love not freedom, but license.
Milton, John

27.
Is freedom anything else than the right to live as we wish? Nothing else.
Epictetus

28.
All theory is against freedom of the will; all experience for it.
Johnson, Samuel

29.
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.
Walker, Alice

30.
At no time is freedom of speech more precious than when a man hits his thumb with a hammer.
Lumsden, Marshall

31.
Freedom is an internal achievement rather than an external adjustment.
Powell, Adam Clayton

32.
True obedience is true freedom.
Beecher, Henry Ward

33.
Men are free when they are in a living homeland, not when they are straying and breaking away. Men are free when they are obeying some deep, inward voice of religious belief. Obeying from within. Men are free when they belong to a living, organic, believing community, active in fulfilling some unfulfilled, perhaps unrealized purpose. Not when they are escaping to some wild west. The most unfree souls go west, and shout of freedom. Men are freest when they are most unconscious of freedom. The shout is a rattling of chains, always was.
Lawrence, D. H.

34.
Freedom, then, lies only in our innate human capacity to choose between different sorts of bondage, bondage to desire or self esteem, or bondage to the light that lightens all our olives.
Madhava, Sri

35.
Freedom exists only with power.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

36.
This is America. You can do anything here.
Turner, Robert E.

37.
It is not good to be too free. It is not good to have everything one wants.
Pascal, Blaise

38.
Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.
Covey, Stephen R.

39.
Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

40.
People who exercise their embryonic freedom day after day, little by little, expand that freedom. People who do not will find that it withers until they are literally being lived. They are acting out scripts written by parents, associates and society.
Covey, Stephen R.

41.
When I was a boy I used to do what my father wanted. Now I have to do what my boy wants. My problem is: When am I going to do what I want?
Levenson, Samuel

42.
As for freedom, it will soon cease to exist in any shape or form. Living will depend upon absolute obedience to a strict set of arrangements, which it will no longer be possible to transgress. The air traveler is not free. In the future, life's passengers will be even less so: they will travel through their lives fastened to their (corporate) seats.
Baudrillard, Jean

43.
No man has received from nature the right to give orders to others. Freedom is a gift from heaven, and every individual of the same species has the right to enjoy it as soon as he is in enjoyment of his reason.
Diderot, Denis

44.
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

45.
The grass is always greener where the fence isn't.

46.
The basis of a democratic state is liberty.
Aristotle

47.
Whatever the price, identify it now. What will you have to go through to get where you want to be? There is a price you can pay to be free of the situation once and for all. It may be a fantastic price or a tiny one -- but there is a price.
Browne, Harry

48.
The very aim and end of our institutions is just this: that we may thing what we like and say what we think.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

49.
He who is conceived in a cage, yearns for the cage.
Yevtushenko, Yevgeny

50.
Governing sense, mind and intellect, intent on liberation, free from desire, fear and anger, the sage is forever free.
Bhagavad Gita
