Freedom
has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit
of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed
- else like a flower cut from its life-giving
roots, it will wither and die.
-- Dwight D.
Eisenhower |
Only
the educated are free.
-- Epictetus
|
|
*
The
fight for freedom is combined with the fight
for equality, and we must realize that this
is the fight for America - not just black America
but all America.
-- James Farmer
|
We
must be free not because we claim freedom, but because
we practice it.
-- William Faulkner
|

*
They
that can give up essential liberty to obtain
a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty
nor safety.
-- Benjamin
Franklin
"A
nation of well informed men who have been taught
to know and prize the rights which God has given
them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region
of ignorance that tyranny begins."
-- Benjamin
Franklin

Enslave
the liberty of but one human being and the liberties
of the world are put in peril"
-- William
Lloyd Garrison
|
*
Promoting
active liberty does not mean allowing the majority
to run roughshod over minorities. It calls for
taking special care that all groups have a chance
to fully participate in society and the political
process.
-- Ruth Bader
Ginsburg |

Freedom
means to build a democratic system enshrined
with the respect for fundamental rights of Man,
of the human being, of the individuals.
-- Xanana
Gusmão

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.
-- Judge Learned Hand
 |
*
Without
free, self-respecting and autonomous citizens
there can be no free and independent nations.
Without internal peace, that is, peace among citizens
and between the citizens and the state, there
can be no guarantee of external peace.
-- Vaclav Havel
|
The
fact, in short, is that freedom, to be meaningful
in an organized society must consist of an amalgam
of hierarchy of freedoms and restraints.
-- Samuel Hendel
“We
need to be activating deep democracy because democracy
is fleeting through our fingers, and most people are
unaware of it. Democracy is about dispersing power
among the interconnected people. As a people, we need
to rise to the level of forcing our leaders to abide
by our stated principles - really exercise democracy,
not only on our behalf but on behalf of the world.
We need to continue, as part and parcel of the American
experience created by the founding forefathers, and
now the foremothers, to insist, "We want democracy
to work, and that means every voice counts."
-- Dr. Azizah al-Hibri
We
can enhance democracy by making it in line with
its original vision. Read the dollar bill - E
pluribus unum, out of many, one; novus ordo seclorum,
a new order of the ages. That's democracy.
-- Barbara Marx

our
land is now, more than ever before, the last
best hope on earth. I know that we can--I
know that we shall--begin here the fuller
and richer realization of that hope--that
promise of a land where all men are truly
free and equal, and each man uses his freedom
and equality wisely and well
-- Hubert
Humphrey

Yes,
a new day is here. Across America -- throughout
the entire world -- the forces of emancipation
are at work. We hear freedom's rising chorus:
“Let me live my own life. Let me live in peace.
Let me be free," say the people.
-- Hubert
Humphrey
