Freedom

We must provide all kinds of freedom, personal and economic, to all Iraqis. I will fight for that.

There was one of two things I had a right to: liberty or death. If I could not have one, I would have the other; for now man should take me alive.

Power is given only to those you allow to have power over you. No man was born with a master. The only master of all is the Creator, and he created all men to be free. Freedom is a God-given right, not a human-granted gift. No man should have to fight to breathe in good health and peace.

It's going to take all of us, gathering our voices and acting together. Saying,'Not on our watch' to create a future for humans, animals and the environment.

Every revolution begins with one voice crying in the wilderness.

The free man does what he likes in his working time and in his spare time what is required of him. The slave does what he is obliged to do in his working time and what he likes only when he is not at work.

What the proponents of prostitution conveniently ignore is that lack of opportunity is lack of choice.

Excess of liberty, whether it lies in state or individuals, seems only to pass into excess of slavery.

When freedom does not have a purpose, when it does not wish to know anything about the rule of law engraved in the hearts of men and women, when it does not listen to the voice of conscience, it turns against humanity and society.

Man is not the creature of circumstances circumstances are the creature of man. We are free agents and man is more powerful than matter.

Emigration is no longer a solution; it's a defeat. People are risking death, drowning every day, but they're knocking on doors that are not open.

It is a fair summary of history to say that the safeguards of liberty have frequently been forged in cases involving not very nice people.

I think there is a puritanical wind that is blowing. I have never seen such a lack of separation between church and state in America, I don’t believe in God, but if I did I would say that sex is a Godgiven right. Otherwise it’s the end of our species.

Liberty’s too precious a thing to be buried in books. Men should hold it up in front of them every single day of their lives and say: I'm free to think and to speak. My ancestors couldn't, I can, and my children will. Boys ought to grow up remembering that.

The west coast is a mecca for wild hearts, wild minds, wild spirits and I’m a WMD—I’ve got so much energy I’m about to explode.

He who is brave is free.

Freedom is our most precious commodity and if we are not eternally vigilant, government will take it all away. Individual freedom demands individual responsibility.

I hope that I will be the last victim in China's long record of treating words as crimes.

Understand your power. Live dangerously. Live fearlessly. Cower before no earthly master. Know yourself. Live truthfully. Live freely. Be yourself. Love yourself.

Because of the terrorist threat, the FBI and CIA have become as important as the military in preserving our freedom. Yet while thanking our military is standard practice in American life, no one thinks of thanking the FBI, the CIA, or the rest of the intelligence community for keeping us safe since 9/11.
