Best Quotes about Freedom
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.
If you're not ready to die for it, put the word freedom out of your vocabulary.
Malcolm X
The time is near at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves.
Washington, George
Freedom is the opportunity to make decisions...
Hildebrand, Kenneth
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.
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.
Perfect freedom is reserved for the man who lives by his own work and in that work does what he wants to do.
Collingwood, Robin G.
For in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle; and one faces down fears of today so that those of tomorrow might be engaged.
Walker, Alice
Governing sense, mind and intellect, intent on liberation, free from desire, fear and anger, the sage is forever free.
Bhagavad Gita
When I was a boy I used to do what my father wanted. Now I have to do what my boy wants. My problem is: When am I going to do what I want?
Levenson, Samuel
Freedom is the open window through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and human dignity.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
There are always risks in freedom. The only risk in bondage is breaking free.
Bellin, Gita
We are free to yield to truth.
Horace
The traveler has reached the end of the journey! In the freedom of the infinite he is free from all sorrows, the fetters that bound him are thrown away, and the burning fever of life is no more.
Dhammapada
Only very slowly and late have men come to realize that unless freedom is universal it is only extended privilege.
Hill, Christopher
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.
Thomas Jefferson
Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward.
Patricia Sampson
There's only one free person in this society, and he is white and male.
Scott, Hazel
Freedom is the last, best hope of earth.
Lincoln, Abraham
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.
Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement.
Mandela, Nelson
We must determine whether we really want freedom -- whether we are willing to dare the perils of... rebirth... For we never take a step forward without surrendering something that we may have held dear, without dying to that which has been.
Hanson, Virginia
Only necessity understood, and bondage to the highest is identical with true freedom.
James, William
What is freedom? Freedom is the right to choose: the right to create for oneself the alternatives of choice.
Macleish, Archibald
The secret of freedom, courage.
Thucydides
No matter what a man does, he is not fully sane or human unless there is a spirit of freedom in him, a soul unconfined by purpose and larger than the practicable world.
Cooley, Charles Horton
Freedom begins as we become conscious of it.
Howard, Vernon
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
Freedom -- to walk free and own no superior.
Whitman, Walt
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
By the will art thou lost, by the will art thou found, by the will art thou free, captive, and bound.
Silesius, Angelus
Man is born free, yet he is everywhere in chains.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
American freedom consists largely in talking nonsense.
Howe, Edgar Watson
Freedom consists not in refusing to recognize anything above us, but in respecting something which is above us; for by respecting it, we raise ourselves to it, and, by our very acknowledgment, prove that we bear within ourselves what is higher, and are worthy to be on a level with it
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
A hungry man is not a free man.
Stevenson, Adlai E.
The higher one climbs on the spiritual ladder, the more they will grant others their own freedom, and give less interference to another's state of consciousness.
Twitchell, Paul
The true character of liberty is independence, maintained by force.
Voltaire
Freedom is the emancipation from the arbitrary rule of other men.
Adler, Mortimer J.
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
The grass is always greener where the fence isn't.
I believe in a religion that believes in freedom. Any time I have to accept a religion that won't let me fight a battle for my people, I say to hell with that religion.
Malcolm X
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
Freedom is the most contagious virus known to man.
Humphrey, Hubert H.
The bigger the information media, the less courage and freedom they allow. Bigness means weakness.
Sevareid, Eric
Freedom is fragile and must be protected. To sacrifice it, even as a temporary measure, is to betray it.
Greer, Germaine
We are all of us the worse for too much liberty.
Terence
History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.
Adams, John
It is not good to be too free. It is not good to have everything one wants.
Pascal, Blaise
To be what no one ever was, to be what everyone has been: Freedom is the mean of those extremes that fence all effort in.
Doren, Mark Van
