James Madison
“I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.”
Abraham Lincoln
This is a world of compensations, and he who would be no slave must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, cannot long retain it.
George Washington
“It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one. It is better to be alone than in bad company. If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”
Vladimir Putin
“Bike is the most democratic transport vehicle. Bike is the most daring and challenging as it gives its owner the tempting feeling of freedom, that is why one can say without any exaggeration, that a bike is a symbol of freedom.”
John F. Kennedy
“Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.
Malcom X
“A man who believes in freedom will do anything under the sun to acquire…or preserve his freedom. You don’t have to be a man to fight for freedom. All you have to do is to be an intelligent human being.”
“If you’re not ready to die for it, put the word ‘freedom’ out of your vocabulary.”
Billy Graham
“Freedom is relative”
Benjamin Franklin
“Only virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters”.
“They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty nor security.” Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature.”
Ronald Reagan
“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”.
Viktor E. Frankl
“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”.
Nelson Mandela
“There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires”.
Karl Marx
“Necessity is blind until it becomes conscious. Freedom is the consciousness of necessity.
Thomas Paine
“Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it”
Barack Obama
“I think it’s important to understand that you can’t have 100% security and then have 100% privacy and zero inconveniences. We are going to have to make choices as a society.”
Donald Trump
“Sovereign and independent nations are the only vehicles where freedom has ever survived.”
