4. Some of my favorite quotes on Freedom
Sat Dec 5, 2015, 10:31 AM
Dec 2015

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
- Abraham Lincoln


"A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom."
- Bob Dylan


"I would like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free... so other people would be also free."
- Rosa Parks


"You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else."
- Winston Churchill but more to the point:
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."


"What light is to the eyes - what air is to the lungs - what love is to the heart, liberty is to the soul of man."
- Robert Green Ingersoll



But most of all: "Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth." - George Washington
