Freedom Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Freedom

1.
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

2.
What most clearly characterizes true freedom and its true employment is its misemployment.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

3.
Only necessity understood, and bondage to the highest is identical with true freedom.
James, William

4.
Freedom is the right to live as we wish.
Epictetus

5.
The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves.
William Hazlitt

6.
It is true that liberty is precious. So precious that it must be rationed.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

7.
History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

8.
Liberty is the right to choose, freedom is the result of that choice.

9.
If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.
Washington, George

10.
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

11.
Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.
Malcolm X

12.
We gain freedom when we have paid the full price...
Tagore, Rabindranath

13.
We are all of us the worse for too much liberty.
Terence

14.
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

15.
Emancipation from the bondage of the soil is no freedom for the tree.
Tagore, Rabindranath

16.
By the will art thou lost, by the will art thou found, by the will art thou free, captive, and bound.
Silesius, Angelus

17.
Bondage is... subjection to external influences and internal negative thoughts and attitudes.
Stone, W. Clement

18.
We must be willing to pay a price for freedom.
Mencken, H. L.

19.
Women, like men, ought to have their youth so glutted with freedom they hate the very idea of freedom.
Sackville-West, Vita

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.
We are willing enough to praise freedom when she is safely tucked away in the past and cannot be a nuisance. In the present, amidst dangers whose outcome we cannot foresee, we get nervous about her, and admit censorship.
Forster, Edward M.

22.
Every emancipation has in it the seeds of a new slavery, and every truth easily becomes a lie.
Stone, I. F.

23.
We, and all others who believe in freedom as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than live on our knees.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

24.
The clash of ideas is the sound of freedom.
Johnson, Lady Bird

25.
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

26.
There can be no real freedom without the freedom to fail.
Hoffer, Eric

27.
Liberty, according to my metaphysics is a self-determining power in an intellectual agent. It implies thought and choice and power.
Adams, John

28.
It is our belief that if people are set free to express themselves to the fullest, their accomplishments will be far beyond their dreams, and they will not only contribute to the growth of the company, but will also be more useful citizens and contribute to the society at large.
Blount, Wilton M.

29.
Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

30.
You don't have to be a man to fight for freedom. All you have to do is to be an intelligent human being.
Malcolm X

31.
We have confused the free with the free and easy.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

32.
Patterning your life around other's opinions is nothing more than slavery.
Lawana Blackwell

33.
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

34.
Freedom is not the right to do what we want, but what we ought. Let us have faith that right makes might and in that faith let us; to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.
Lincoln, Abraham

35.
We who officially value freedom of speech above life itself seem to have nothing to talk about but the weather.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

36.
It is especially important to encourage unorthodox thinking when the situation is critical: At such moments every new word and fresh thought is more precious than gold. Indeed, people must not be deprived of the right to think their own thoughts.
Yeltsin, Boris

37.
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.

38.
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

39.
Freedom is a condition of mind, and the best way to secure it is to breed it.
Hubbard, Elbert

40.
My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.
Adlai E. Stevenson Jr.

41.
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.

42.
Any honest examination of the national life proves how far we are from the standard of human freedom with which we began. The recovery of this standard demands of everyone who loves this country a hard look at himself, for the greatest achievements must begin somewhere, and they always begin with the person. If we are not capable of this examination, we may yet become one of the most distinguished and monumental failures in the history of nations.
Baldwin, James

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

44.
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

45.
In America the majority raises formidable barriers around the liberty of opinion; within these barriers an author may write what he pleases, but woe to him if he goes beyond them.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

46.
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.

47.
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

48.
A country cannot subsist well without liberty, nor liberty without virtue.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

49.
I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy -- but that could change.
Quayle, Dan

50.
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
