I believe that God wants everybody to be free. That’s what I believe. And that’s part of my foreign policy. George W Bush
We have a calling from beyond the stars to stand for freedom, and America will always be faithful to that cause. George W Bush
I believe that freedom is the future of all humanity. George W Bush
The advance of freedom is the calling of our time. George W Bush
There ought to be limits to freedom. George W Bush
See, free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don’t attack each other. Free nations don’t develop weapons of mass destruction. George W Bush 2003
It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practise either of them. Mark Twain, Following the Equator
There is a inner freedom that comes from defiance … In every act of rebellion we are free. Chris Hedges, lecture New York 10 November 2017, ‘The Sanctuary For Independent Media’
But there’s no such thing as free. There are only different and more horrible ways to be enslaved. Lauren DeStefano, Fever
I am for freedom of religion and against all manoeuvres to bring about a legal ascendancy of one sect over another. Thomas Jefferson
Would the honest patriot, in the full tide of successful experiment, abandon a government which has so far kept us free and firm? Thomas Jefferson, inaugural address 4th March 1801
Freedom of religion; freedom of the press, and freedom of the person under the protection of habeas corpus, and trial by juries impartially selected. These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us, and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. ibid.
If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. Thomas Jefferson
The truth which makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear. Herbert Agar, 1897-1980, American poet & writer
Man is condemned to be free. Condemned because he did not create himself, yet is nevertheless at liberty, and from the moment he is thrown into this world he is responsible for everything he does. Jean-Paul Sartre
Freedom is what you do with what’s been done to you. Jean-Paul Sartre
We are alone with no excuses. That is the idea I shall try to convey when I say that man is condemned to be free. Condemned because he did not create himself; yet, in other respects, if free, because, once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does. Jean-Paul Sartre
‘All I want is’ - and he uttered the final words through clenched teeth and with a sort of shame – ‘to retain my freedom.’
‘I should myself have thought,’ said Jacques, ‘that freedom consisted in frankly confronting situations into which one had deliberately entered, and accepting all one’s responsibilities. But that, no doubt, is not your view.’ Jean-Paul Sartre, The Age of Reason
A human being who wakened in the morning with a queasy stomach, with fifteen hours to kill before next bedtime, had not much use for freedom. Jean-Paul Sartre
We are our choices. Jean-Paul Sartre
You have to stand up for what’s right in life. Unless you do that, you are nothing. Freedom and liberty is what people really want. And it’s time to stop the duplicity of government lying to us. Aaron Russo, interview Alex Jones
Silence is golden but when it comes to your freedom it’s yellow. We have to stop being scared. We have to stand up and do what’s necessary, to stop these bankers, this elite, this government full of lies, these Congressmen full of liars ... There is a rising tide but we have to mobilise. ibid.
We need to wake up and find out what freedom is all about. And start asking some very serious questions about who is leading us and where are they taking the human family. We are in serious trouble on this Earth. And the people who are guiding the destiny of this world are profoundly evil. Their agenda is so profoundly evil most men are not even able to perceive it. Jordan Maxwell, Forbidden Knowledge
Perhaps I am deluded about my own free will. Stephen Hawking’s Grand Design: The Meaning of Life, Discovery 2012
I am as free as nature first made man,
Ere the base laws of servitude began,
When wild in woods the noble savage ran. John Dryden, 1631-1700, The Conquest of Granada
Freedom which in no other land will thrive,
Freedom an English subject’s sole prerogative. John Dryden
Man was born free, and everywhere he is in chains. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, The Social Contract
The end of the law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. John Locke
No woman can call herself free who does not control her own body. Margaret Sanger
We are here to claim our right as women, not only to be free, but to fight for freedom. That it is our right as well as our duty. Christabel Pankhurst
If it is right for men to fight for their freedom, and God knows what the human race would be like today if men had not, since time began, fought for their freedom, then it is right for women to fight for their freedom and the freedom of the children they bear. Emmeline Pankhurst
Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Frederick Douglass
