Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.

If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor it must be demanded by the oppressed.

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
