-- Helen Thomas

essence of all slavery consists in taking the product of another's labor by force.
It is immaterial whether this force be founded upon ownership of the slave or

-- Leo
Tolstoy |

"If
you are tired, keep going; if you are scared, keep going; if you are hungry; keep
going; if you want to taste freedom, keep going."

Tubman |

"We
must not allow ourselves to become like the system we oppose. We cannot afford
to use methods of which we will be ashamed when we look back, when we say, '...we
shouldn't have done that.' We must remember, my friends, that we have been given
a wonderful cause. The cause of freedom! And you and I must be those who will
walk with heads held high. We will say, 'We used methods that can stand the harsh
scrutiny of history.'
-- Archbishop
Desmond Tutu |
In
America, through pressure of conformity, there is freedom of choice, but nothing

-- Peter

Democracy
is constructed like an edifice, freedom by freedom, right by right, until it reaches
its snapping point.
-- Abdoulaye Wade |  |

"For
in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle;
and one faces down fears of today so that those of
tomorrow might be engaged.
~Alice

The
shallow consider liberty a release from all law, from every constraint. The wise
see in it, on the contrary, the potent Law of Laws.
-- Walt
Whitman

There
is much to be done, there is much that can be done… one person of integrity can
make a difference, a difference of life and death. As long as one dissident is
in prison, our freedom will not be true. As long as one child is hungry, our lives
will be filled with anguish and shame. What all these victims need above all is
to know that they are not alone; that we are not forgetting them, that when their
voices are stifled we shall lend them ours, that while their freedom depends on
ours, the quality of our freedom depends on theirs.
-- Elie
Wiesel |  |

Freedom
is an indivisible word. If we want to enjoy it, and fight for it, we must be prepared
to extend it to everyone, whether they are rich or poor, whether they agree with
us or not, no matter what their race or the color of their skin.
-- Wendell
Wilkie
Whenever
we take away the liberties of those whom we hate we are opening the way to loss
of liberty for those we love.
-- Wendell
Wilkie When
we talk of freedom and opportunity for all nations, the mocking paradoxes in our
own society become so clear they can no longer be ignored.
-- Wendell
Wilkie |
*
A
free America... means just this: individual freedom for all, rich or poor, or
else this system of government we call democracy is only an expedient to enslave
man to the machine and make him like it.
-- Frank
Lloyd Wright |

True independence
and freedom can only exist in doing what's right.
-- Brigham Young |
