It's American Independence Day today. Happy 4th of July to you fellows!
Here are some worthy quotes for you:
“Freedom is never given, it is won.”
“Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people”
“Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better.”
“Liberty is the right to choose. Freedom is the result of the right choice.”
“The greatest lesson we can learn from the past. . . is that freedom is at the core of every successful nation in the world.”
“As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality.”
“The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are justly considered... deeply, ...finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.”
“Liberty is the possibility of doubting, the possibility of making a mistake, the possibility of searching and experimenting, the possibility of saying No to any authority--literary, artistic, philosophic, religious, social and even political.”
“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty.”
“Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.”
