Liberty
(page 2)
Let us form one body, one heart, and defend to the last warrior our country, our homes, our liberty, and the graves of our fathers.
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
I think it's an enormous blessing to be the child of an immigrant who fled oppression, because you realize how fragile liberty is and how easily it can be taken away.
My education was the liberty I had to read indiscriminately and all the time, with my eyes hanging out.
I would fight for my liberty so long as my strength lasted, and if the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me.
There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism.
Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom — and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech.
America is known as a country that welcomes people to its shores. All kinds of people. The image of the Statue of Liberty with Emma Lazarus' famous poem. She lifts her lamp and welcomes people to the golden shore, where they will not experience prejudice because of the color of their skin, the religious faith that they follow.
I believe in Liberty for all men: the space to stretch their arms and their souls, the right to breathe and the right to vote, the freedom to choose their friends, enjoy the sunshine, and ride on the railroads, uncursed by color; thinking, dreaming, working as they will in a kingdom of beauty and love.
Liberty may be endangered by the abuse of liberty, but also by the abuse of power.
Liberty cannot be preserved without general knowledge among the people.
The American flag is an enduring symbol of liberty, democracy, and justice. It is fitting that the House act to protect it as we approach our nation's birthday, and as our men and women in uniform rally behind it in Iraq's battlefields.
All mankind... being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions.
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.
I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I like the religion that teaches liberty, equality and fraternity.
Life without liberty is like a body without spirit.
I believe our flag is more than just cloth and ink. It is a universally recognized symbol that stands for liberty, and freedom. It is the history of our nation, and it's marked by the blood of those who died defending it.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
