Everywhere that freedom stirs, let tyrants fear.

History suggests that capitalism is a necessary condition for political freedom. Clearly it is not a sufficient condition.

A filmmaker has almost the same freedom as a novelist has when he buys himself some paper.

In this possibly terminal phase of human existence, democracy and freedom are more than just ideals to be valued - they may be essential to survival.

The greatest threat to freedom is the absence of criticism.

When there is state there can be no freedom, but when there is freedom there will be no state.

We seek peace, knowing that peace is the climate of freedom.

Governments that block the aspirations of their people, that steal or are corrupt, that oppress and torture or that deny freedom of expression and human rights should bear in mind that they will find it increasingly hard to escape the judgement of their own people, or where warranted, the reach of international law.

We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.

Americans admire a people who can scratch a desert and produce a garden. The Israelis have shown qualities that Americans identify with: guts, patriotism, idealism, a passion for freedom. I have seen it. I know. I believe that.
