May the light of freedom, coming to all darkened lands, flame brightly--until at last the darkness is no more.

DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

---

History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.

DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

---

The anchor in our world today is freedom, holding us steady in times of change, a symbol of hope to all the world.

GEORGE H.W. BUSH

---

The unity of all who dwell in freedom is their only sure defense.

DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

---

It is the mind of man alone that is the cause of his bondage or freedom.

CHANAKYA

---

It is like living among snow-capped peaks with clouds wrapped around them and the sun and moon starkly shining over them... Aloneness becomes their companion, their spiritual consort, part of their being. Wherever they go they are alone, whatever they do they are alone. Whether they relate socially with friends or meditate alone ... aloneness is there all the time. That aloneness is freedom, fundamental freedom.

CHOGYAM TRUNGPA

---

Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom.

ALBERT EINSTEIN

---

Saying that you reject socialism because you love freedom is like saying you reject chocolate because you hate bananas.

CHANA O'LEARY

---

God's work is freedom. Freedom is dear to his heart. He wishes to make man's will free, and at the same time wishes it to be pure, majestic, and holy.

E. H. CHAPIN

---

Mistaking insolence for freedom has always been the hallmark of the slave.

WILHELM REICH

---

For those who have it, freedom is like oxygen, it's something we just have. Many will not understand just how precious either is until they are at risk of losing it.

JOHN DUTCHER

---

For one to be free there must be at least two. Freedom signifies a social relation, an asymmetry of social conditions: essentially it implies social difference--it presumes and implies the presence of social division. Some can be free only in so far as there is a form of dependence they can aspire to escape.

ZYGMUNT BAUMAN

---

Because we are free we can never be indifferent to the fate of freedom elsewhere. Our moral sense dictates a clearcut preference for these societies which share with us an abiding respect for individual human rights. We do not seek to intimidate, but it is clear that a world which others can dominate with impunity would be inhospitable to decency and a threat to the well-being of all people.

JIMMY CARTER

---

Any bonds today?
Bonds of freedom
That's what I'm selling
Any bonds today?
Scrape up the most you can
Here comes the freedom man

DUKE ELLINGTON

---

The importance of our being free to do a particular thing has nothing to do with the question of whether we or the majority are ever likely to make use of that particular possibility. To grant no more freedom than all can exercise would be to misconceive its function completely. The freedom that will be used by only one man in a million may be more important to society and more beneficial to the majority than any freedom that we all use.

FRIEDRICH HAYEK

---

I am as free as Nature first made man,
Ere the base laws of servitude began,
When wild in woods the noble savage ran.

JOHN DRYDEN

---

Heaven's blessing must attend all, and freedom must soon be given to the pining millions under a ruthless bondage.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS

---

They never fail who die
In a great cause: the block may soak their gore:
Their heads may sodden in the sun; their limbs
Be strung to city gates and castle walls--
But still their Spirit walks abroad. Though years
Elapse, and others share as dark a doom,
They but augment the deep and sweeping thoughts
Which overpower all others, and conduct
The world at last to Freedom.

LORD BYRON

---

Freedom is indivisible; the chains on any one of my people were the chains on all of them, the chains on all of my people were the chains on me.

NELSON MANDELA

---

Real freedom lies in wildness, not in civilization.

CHARLES LINDBERGH
