Motivational Quotes

Freedom

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
Freedom Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Freedom

1.
Freedom is the emancipation from the arbitrary rule of other men.
Adler, Mortimer J.

2.
Only that thing is free which exists by the necessities of its own nature, and is determined in its actions by itself alone.
Spinoza, Baruch (Benedict de)

3.
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.
Thomas Jefferson

4.
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

5.
None can love freedom heartily, but good men... the rest love not freedom, but license.
Milton, John

6.
Perfect freedom is as necessary to the health and vigor of commerce as it is to the health and vigor of citizenship.
Henry, Patrick

7.
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

8.
Freedom is knowing who you really are.
Thomson, Linda

9.
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

10.
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

11.
I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy -- but that could change.
Quayle, Dan

12.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
Adams, John

13.
Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.
Malcolm X

14.
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

15.
All we have of freedom -- all we use or know -- this our fathers bought for us, long and long ago.
Kipling, Rudyard

16.
Tyrants have not yet discovered any chains that can fetter the mind.
Colton, Charles Caleb

17.
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

18.
We have confused the free with the free and easy.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

19.
Freedom is the opportunity to make decisions...
Hildebrand, Kenneth

20.
If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.
Washington, George

21.
A forest bird never wants a cage.
Ibsen, Henrik

22.
So far as a person thinks; they are free.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

23.
Freedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery.
Dyer, Wayne

24.
I know but one freedom and that is the freedom of the mind.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

25.
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

26.
Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others. But without freedom, no socialism either, except the socialism of the gallows.
Camus, Albert

27.
There's something contagious about demanding freedom.
Morgan, Robin

28.
They want to be free and they do not know how to be just.
Sieyes, Abbe

29.
When the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again.
Hamilton, Edith

30.
The law will never make men free, it is men that have to make the law free.
Thoreau, Henry David

31.
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

32.
Only law can give us freedom.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

33.
Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered.
Cicero, Marcus T.

34.
Where there is much freedom there is much error.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

35.
We hold in our hands, the most precious gift of all: Freedom. The freedom to express our art. Our love. The freedom to be who we want to be. We are not going to give that freedom away and no one shall take it from us!
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider

36.
Freedom is fragile and must be protected. To sacrifice it, even as a temporary measure, is to betray it.
Greer, Germaine

37.
It is easy to believe in freedom of speech for those with whom we agree.
Mckern, Leo

38.
Freedom is poetry, taking liberties with words, breaking the rules of normal speech, violating common sense. Freedom is violence.
Brown, Norman O.

39.
History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

40.
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.

41.
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

42.
Freedom is the open window through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and human dignity.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

43.
In the last analysis, our only freedom is the freedom to discipline ourselves.
Baruch, Bernard M.

44.
Freedom begins as we become conscious of it.
Howard, Vernon

45.
When ever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither is safe.
Burke, Edmund

46.
Freedom is man's capacity to take a hand in his own development. It is our capacity to mold ourselves.
May, Rollo

47.
Emancipation from the bondage of the soil is no freedom for the tree.
Tagore, Rabindranath

48.
Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

49.
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

50.
It is quite impossible to guarantee world peace. But is should be possible to guarantee world freedom.
