Mistaking insolence for freedom has always been the hallmark of the slave.

WILHELM REICH

---

Love of country follows from the exercise of its freedoms, not from pride in its fleets or its armies.

LEWIS H. LAPHAM

---

The cause of Freedom is the cause of God!

WILLIAM LISLE BOWLES

---

True freedom is to share
All the chains our brothers wear

JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL

---

Man is born free and is everywhere in chains.

PETER CAREY

---

The importance of our being free to do a particular thing has nothing to do with the question of whether we or the majority are ever likely to make use of that particular possibility. To grant no more freedom than all can exercise would be to misconceive its function completely. The freedom that will be used by only one man in a million may be more important to society and more beneficial to the majority than any freedom that we all use.

FRIEDRICH HAYEK

---

Freedom all solace to man gives
He lives at ease who freely lives.

JOHN BARBOUR

---

Freedom can be manifested only in the void of beliefs, in the absence of axioms, and only where the laws have no more authority than a hypothesis.

EMIL CIORAN

---

I've read and heard a lot of unbelievable stuff about those times when people lived in freedom -- that is, in disorganized wildness.

YEVGENY ZAMYATIN

---

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward towards the light; but the laden traveler may never reach the end of it.

URSULA K. LE GUIN

---

The supreme end is the freedom of the spirit.

SRI AUROBINDO

---

Freedom is the fundamental condition for any growth.

ERICH FROMM

---

Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby's head

U2

---

We know what works: Freedom works. We know what's right: Freedom is right. We know how to secure a more just and prosperous life for man on Earth: through free markets, free speech, free elections, and the exercise of free will unhampered by the state.

GEORGE H. W. BUSH

---

Heaven's blessing must attend all, and freedom must soon be given to the pining millions under a ruthless bondage.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS

---

Modern European and American history is centered around the effort to gain freedom from the political, economic, and spiritual shackles that have bound men. The battles for freedom where fought by the oppressed, those who wanted new liberties, against those who had privileges to defend. While a class was fighting for its own liberation from domination, it believed itself to be fighting for human freedom as such and thus was able to appeal to an ideal, to the longing for freedom rooted in all who are oppressed. In the long and virtually continuous battle for freedom, however, classes that were fighting against oppression at one stage sided with the enemies of freedom when victory was won and new privileges were to be defended.

ERICH FROMM

---

Can this be happiness, this terrifying freedom?

ALBERT CAMUS

---

Once a man has tasted freedom, he will never be content to be a slave.

WALT DISNEY

---

Posterity: you will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it.

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS

---

The more freedom you give people to do good, the more freedom they have to do bad as well.

TAD WILLIAMS
