Hard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We’ll need writers who can remember freedom – poets, visionaries – realists of a larger reality. – Ursula K. Le Guin	added by JokerGem 13 days ago
I am an American. Secondly, I am a Christian. The reason why we fight is to draw attention to issues and to fix it. We are not anti-cop. We are anti-bad cop... We don't want hand-outs. We don't want anything that's yours. We want our God-given right to freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness... USA, USA, USA. Hawk Newsome, president and co-founder of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York, filmed addressing Trump supporters on stage at a Trump rally. – Hawk Newsome	added by newsletters2 1 month ago
A great once said he had a dream, yet many of us remain slaves of our own minds and possessions. Until we break the chains of self-imposed limitations and material attachments, the dream of true freedom will elude us, and the echoes of liberation will only be whispers in the corridors of our aspirations. – Christen Kuikoua	added by ChristenKuikouafans 2 months ago
The American notion of freedom transcended the political realm and in fact extended to every major category of human relationships, including those between employer and employee, clergyman and layman, husband and wife, parent and child, public official and citizen. Americans believed that, as of July 4, 1776, all men were created equal, and that any impairment of a man’s equality was destructive of his liberty also. – David M. Potter	added by Normando 3 months ago
The cause of freedom is the cause of God. – William Lisle Bowles	added by Normando 3 months ago
The legacy of freedom is inscribed by those who envisioned a world liberated from tyranny, dared to challenge the fetters of oppression, and defended the pursuit of dignity and self-determination—ideals we must fervently uphold. – Aloo Denish Obiero	added by Aloo-Denish 3 months ago
Let our independence roar louder than any oppression. Let our unity forge an unbreakable shield against any tyranny. Let our freedom steer us towards a destiny of equity and justice, peace and prosperity for all. – Aloo Denish Obiero	added by Aloo-Denish 3 months ago
Governments must nurture freedom as a garden, tending to it vigilantly to prevent its withering under the shadow of authority. – Aloo Denish Obiero	added by Aloo-Denish 5 months ago
Where freedom is real, equality is the passion of the masses. Where equality is real, freedom is the passion of a small minority. – Eric Hoffer	added by Normando 5 months ago
Prosperity or egalitarianism -- you have to choose. I favor freedom -- you never achieve real equality anyway, you simply sacrifice prosperity for an illusion. – Marios Vargas Llosa	added by Normando 5 months ago
History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. – Dwight D. Eisenhower	added by Normando 5 months ago
What do we mean when we say that first of all we seek liberty? I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it… What is this liberty that must lie in the hearts of men and women? It is not the ruthless, the unbridled will; it is not the freedom to do as one likes. That is the denial of liberty and leads straight to its overthrow. A society in which men recognize no check on their freedom soon becomes a society where freedom is the possession of only a savage few -- as we have learned to our sorrow. What then is the spirit of liberty? I cannot define it; I can only tell you my own faith. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias... – Learned Hand	added by Normando 5 months ago
The system of private property is the most important guaranty of freedom, not only for those who own property, but scarcely less for those who do not. – Friedrich August von Hayek	added by Normando 5 months ago
To include freedom in the very definition of democracy is to define a process not by its actual characteristics as a process but by its hoped for results. This is not only intellectually invalid, it is, in practical terms, blinding oneself in advance to some of the unwanted consequences of the process – Thomas Sowell	added by Normando 5 months ago
Most of the major ills of the world have been caused by well-meaning people who ignored the principle of individual freedom, except as applied to themselves, and who were obsessed with fanatical zeal to improve the lot of mankind-in-the-mass through some pet formula of their own. The harm done by ordinary criminals, murderers, gangsters, and thieves is negligible in comparison with the agony inflicted upon human beings by the professional do-gooders, who attempt to set themselves up as gods on earth and who would ruthlessly force their views on all others - with the abiding assurance that the end justifies the means. – Henry Grady Weaver	added by Normando 5 months ago
You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. – Robert A. Heinlein	added by Normando 5 months ago
The American press is extraordinarily free and vigorous, as it should be. It should be, not because it is free of inaccuracy, oversimplification and bias, but because the alternative to that freedom is worse than those failings. – Robert Bork	added by Normando 5 months ago
If you say that’s freedom of expression, I will also express my freedom by sending people to your place and home. – Hun Sen	Found on New York Times 10 months ago
Limiting the freedom of news 'just a little bit' is in the same category within the classic example 'a little bit pregnant.‘ – Robert A. Heinlein	added by Normando 10 months ago
Americans find it intolerable that one constitutional right should have to be surrendered in order to assert another. America is the land of the free and home of the brave -- we don't need a Patriot Act, because we are already patriots. We know freedom means responsibility, but I am not sure Congress and its domestic enforcement agencies do. More often than not, new security measures enacted by the government have resulted in more violations of the citizenry than terrorists have ever done. The terrorists want us to be afraid - well, we are not afraid. Stop wasting dollars on this program - it is not good for America. To give up essential liberty for a little security provides neither. The right to be left alone from government intrusion is the beginning of all freedoms. – Eric Schaub	added by Normando 11 months ago
All might be free if they valued freedom, and defended it as they should. – Samuel Adams	added by Normando 11 months ago
The true patriot scrutinizes the actions of his own government with unceasing vigilance. And when his government violates the morality and rightness associated with principles of individual freedom and private property, he immediately rises in opposition to his government. – Jacob G. Hornberger	added by Normando 11 months ago
Independence Day is not just a date on the calendar; it is a flame that ignites the spirit of every individual, reminding us that freedom is our birthright and courage is our strength. This day reminds us that true independence is not merely the absence of external control, but the resolute presence of self-determination. As we commemorate the valor of our fathers who valiantly fought for our freedom, let us honor their sacrifices by cultivating a society that values diversity, upholds justice, and champions the well-being of all. Our actions today will lay the foundation for a prosperous and harmonious nation. – Aloo Denish	added by Aloo-Denish 11 months ago
The Bill of Rights is a born rebel. It reeks with sedition. In every clause it shakes its fist in the face of constituted authority... It is the one guarantee of human freedom to the American people. – Frank I. Cobb	added by Normando 11 months ago
