Best Quotes about Freedom
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
Orwell, George
Freedom Know this, that every man is free To choose his life and what he'll be. For this eternal truth is given, God will force no man to heaven. He'll call, persuade, direct aright, Bless with wisdom, love, and light; In nameless ways be good and kind, But never force the human mind.
Clegg, William C.
It is not good to be too free. It is not good to have everything one wants.
Pascal, Blaise
I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy -- but that could change.
Quayle, Dan
There is no liberation without labor... and there is no freedom which is free.
Sahib, The Siri Singh
Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.
Covey, Stephen R.
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
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
What is freedom? Freedom is the right to choose: the right to create for oneself the alternatives of choice.
Macleish, Archibald
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
Freedom is not being a slave to any circumstance, to any constraint, to any chance; it means compelling Fortune to enter the lists on equal terms.
Seneca
There's something contagious about demanding freedom.
Morgan, Robin
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
The East knew and to the present day knows only that One is Free; the Greek and the Roman world, that some are free; the German World knows that All are free. The first political form therefore which we observe in History, is Despotism, the second Democracy and Aristocracy, the third, Monarchy.
Hegel, Georg
He who is brave is free.
Seneca
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
Liberty, then, about which so many volumes have been written is, when accurately defined, only the power of acting.
Voltaire
I stand for freedom of expression, doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams.
Madonna
Liberty is a different kind of pain from prison.
Eliot, T. S.
Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.
Washington, George
A slave is a free man if he is content with his lot; a free man is a slave if he seeks more than that.
If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom: and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that, too.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Only very slowly and late have men come to realize that unless freedom is universal it is only extended privilege.
Hill, Christopher
Freedom is not an ideal, it is not even a protection, if it means nothing more than freedom to stagnate, to live without dreams, to have no greater aim than a second car and another television set.
Stevenson, Adlai E.
Liberty, according to my metaphysics is a self-determining power in an intellectual agent. It implies thought and choice and power.
Adams, John
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.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren
We gain freedom when we have paid the full price...
Tagore, Rabindranath
The freedom of the press works in such a way that there is not much freedom from it.
Kelly, Grace (Patricia)
The secret of freedom, courage.
Thucydides
When ever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither is safe.
Burke, Edmund
We hear about constitutional rights, free speech and the free press. Every time I hear those words I say to myself, That man is a Red, that man is a Communist. You never heard a real American talk in that manner.
Hague, Frank
You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.
Malcolm X
He who dares not (reason), is a slave.
Drummond, William
Free will is not the liberty to do whatever one likes, but the power of doing whatever one sees ought to be done, even in the very face of otherwise overwhelming impulse. There lies freedom, indeed.
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
If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.
Chomsky, Noam
The moment the slave resolves that he will no longer be a slave. His fetters fall... freedom and slavery are mental states.
Gandhi, Mahatma
Nothing is more disgusting than the crowing about liberty by slaves, as most men are, and the flippant mistaking for freedom of some paper preamble like a Declaration of Independence, or the statute right to vote, by those who have never dared to think or to act.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Freedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it.
Pericles
American freedom consists largely in talking nonsense.
Howe, Edgar Watson
By the will art thou lost, by the will art thou found, by the will art thou free, captive, and bound.
Silesius, Angelus
Freedom -- to walk free and own no superior.
Whitman, Walt
Set me free from evil passions, and heal my heart of all inordinate affections; that being inwardly cured and thoroughly cleansed, I may be made fit to love, courageous to suffer, steady to persevere.
Kempis, Thomas
They want to be free and they do not know how to be just.
Sieyes, Abbe
In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
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
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
Tyrants have not yet discovered any chains that can fetter the mind.
Colton, Charles Caleb
History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
A hungry man is not a free man.
Stevenson, Adlai E.
