Motivational Quotes

Freedom

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.
Freedom Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Freedom

1.
The basis of a democratic state is liberty.
Aristotle

2.
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

3.
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

4.
None who have always been free can understand the terrible fascinating power of the hope of freedom to those who are not free.
Buck, Pearl S.

5.
Only necessity understood, and bondage to the highest is identical with true freedom.
James, William

6.
Free speech is the whole thing, the whole ball game. Free speech is life itself.
Rushdie, Salman

7.
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

8.
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

9.
It is hard to free fools from the chains they revere.
Voltaire

10.
He who dares not (reason), is a slave.
Drummond, William

11.
I sometimes think that the price of liberty is not so much eternal vigilance as eternal dirt.
Orwell, George

12.
What is freedom? Freedom is the right to choose: the right to create for oneself the alternatives of choice.
Macleish, Archibald

13.
A people which is able to say everything becomes able to do everything.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

14.
It is easy to believe in freedom of speech for those with whom we agree.
Mckern, Leo

15.
There's something contagious about demanding freedom.
Morgan, Robin

16.
A hot bath! I cry, as I sit down in it! Again as I lie flat, a hot bath! How exquisite a pleasure, how luxurious, fervid and flagrant a consolation for the rigors, the austerities, the renunciation of the day.
Macaulay, Rose

17.
The English think they are free. They are free only during the election of members of parliament.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

18.
Freedom and love go together. Love is not a reaction. If I love you because you love me, that is mere trade, a thing to be bought in the market; it is not love. To love is not to ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving something- and it is only such love that can know freedom.
Krishnamurti, Jiddu

19.
If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.
Chomsky, Noam

20.
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.
Thomas Jefferson

21.
A hungry man is not a free man.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

22.
You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.
Malcolm X

23.
Who then is free? The one who wisely is lord of themselves, who neither poverty, death or captivity terrify, who is strong to resist his appetites and shun honors, and is complete in themselves smooth and round like a globe.
Horace

24.
There are always risks in freedom. The only risk in bondage is breaking free.
Bellin, Gita

25.
Yet, Freedom! yet thy banner, torn, but flying, streams like the thunderstorm against the wind.
Byron, Lord

26.
The free man is he who does not fear to go to the end of his thought.
Blum, Leon

27.
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

28.
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

29.
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

30.
Freedom is the most contagious virus known to man.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

31.
If you're not ready to die for it, put the word freedom out of your vocabulary.
Malcolm X

32.
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

33.
Is freedom anything else than the right to live as we wish? Nothing else.
Epictetus

34.
Freedom is an internal achievement rather than an external adjustment.
Powell, Adam Clayton

35.
Because you are in control of your life. Don't ever forget that. You are what you are because of the conscious and subconscious choices you have made.
Barbara Hall

36.
The primacy of the word, basis of the human psyche, that has in our age been used for mind-bending persuasion and brain-washing pulp, disgraced by Gobbles and debased by advertising copy, remains a force for freedom that flies out between all bars.
Gordimer, Nadine

37.
A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.
Pound, Ezra

38.
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

39.
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

40.
By the will art thou lost, by the will art thou found, by the will art thou free, captive, and bound.
Silesius, Angelus

41.
We are free to yield to truth.
Horace

42.
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

43.
Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.
Malcolm X

44.
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

45.
We gain freedom when we have paid the full price...
Tagore, Rabindranath

46.
I gave my life for freedom --this I know: For those who bade me fight had told me so.
Ewer, W. N.

47.
Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom.
Albert Einstein

48.
Freedom begins as we become conscious of it.
Howard, Vernon

49.
What most clearly characterizes true freedom and its true employment is its misemployment.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

50.
The saving man becomes the free man.
Proverb, Chinese
