To say that any people are not fit for freedom, is to make poverty their choice, and to say they had rather be loaded with taxes than not.

Freedom comes only to those who no longer ask of life that it shall yield them any of those personal goods that are subject to the mutations of time.

Emancipation from the bondage of the soil is no freedom for the tree.

Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.

Freedom in general may be defined as the absence of obstacles to the realization of desires.

There are two good things in life - freedom of thought and freedom of action.

Freedom is hammered out on the anvil of discussion, dissent, and debate.

The more decisions that you are forced to make alone, the more you are aware of your freedom to choose.

Only our individual faith in freedom can keep us free.

Freedom is not procured by a full enjoyment of what is desired, but by controlling the desire.
