Freedom


 We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than that only freedom can make security secure
  Karl Popper

 We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free. We can therefore not fully appreciate the value of freedom until we know how a society of free men as a whole differs from one in which unfreedom prevails.

 We naturally associate democracy, to be sure, with freedom of action, but freedom of action without freed capacity of thought behind it is only chaos
  John Dewey

 We shall fight for a universal dominion of right by such a concert of free peoples as shall bring peace and safety to all nations and make the world itself at last free
  Woodrow T. Wilson

 We, and all others who believe in freedom as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than live on our knees
  Franklin D. Roosevelt

 Wealth is a tool of freedom, but the pursuit of wealth is the way to slavery.
  Frank Herbert

 What a curious phenomenon it is that you can get men to die for the liberty of the world who will not make the little sacrifice that is needed to free themselves from their own individual bondage.
  Bruce Barton

 What do we mean by setting a man free? You cannot free a man who dwells in a desert and is an unfeeling brute. There is no liberty except the liberty of some one making his way towards something. Such a man can be set free if you will teach him the meaning of thirst, and how to trace a path to a well. Only then will he embark upon a course of action that will not be without significance. You could not liberate a stone if there were no law of gravity -- for where will the stone go, once it is quarried?
  Antoine de Saint-Exupery

 What is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist
  Salman Rushdie

 What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they don't like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don't expect freedom to survive very long.

 What then is freedom ? The power to live as one wishes
  Marcus Tullius Cicero

 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.
  Pope John Paul II

 When I am the weaker, I ask you for my freedom, because that is your principle; but when I am the stronger, I take away your freedom, because that is my principle

 When I was a kid, we said that we were precluded from going to certain neighborhoods because of the color of our skin… Now the neighborhoods are the neighborhoods of ideas, you’re not supposed to be there because … of the color of your skin.”

 When liberty becomes license, dictatorship is near
  Will Durant
