Best Quotes about Freedom

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

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

All we have of freedom -- all we use or know -- this our fathers bought for us, long and long ago.

Kipling, Rudyard

Luther, Martin

Man in general, if reduced to himself, is too wicked to be free.

Maistre, Joseph De

Colton, Charles Caleb

Emancipation from the bondage of the soil is no freedom for the tree.

Tagore, Rabindranath

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

Thomas Jefferson

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

10.

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

Ewer, W. N.

13.

Freedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it.

Pericles

14.

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

Bhagavad Gita

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

The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission.

Kennedy, John F.

22.

Freedom is fragile and must be protected. To sacrifice it, even as a temporary measure, is to betray it.

Greer, Germaine

23.

Only very slowly and late have men come to realize that unless freedom is universal it is only extended privilege.

Hill, Christopher

24.

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

25.

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

Albert Einstein

Freedom is man's capacity to take a hand in his own development. It is our capacity to mold ourselves.

May, Rollo

30.

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

31.

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

32.

I stand for freedom of expression, doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams.

Madonna

33.

Freedom begins as we become conscious of it.

Howard, Vernon

The moment the slave resolves that he will no longer be a slave. His fetters fall... freedom and slavery are mental states.
