Within the soul of America is freedom of mind and spirit in man. Here alone are the open windows through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit.

Free people, remember this maxim: we may acquire liberty, but it is never recovered if it is once lost.

People are generally proud of their food. A willingness to eat and drink with people without fear and prejudice… they open up to you in ways that somebody visiting who is driven by a story may not get.

Fear is present when we forget that we are a part of God’s divine design. Learning to experience authentic love means abandoning ego’s insistence that you have much to fear and that you are in an unfriendly world. You can make the decision to be free from fear and doubt and return to the brilliant light of love that is always with you.

Mandela’s heroism is the heroism of a man who suffered so badly for what he thought of as freedom. And yet when he had the upper hand he has this incredible self-control and these incredible leadership qualities.

One should respect public opinion insofar as is necessary to avoid starvation and keep out of prison, but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny.

Life without liberty is like a body without spirit.

I think that growing up in a crowded continent like Europe with an awful lot of competing claims, ideas… cultures… and systems of thought, we have, perforce, developed a more sophisticated notion of what the word ‚freedom‘ means than I see much evidence of in America.

I’ve got nothing to hide.

Freedom is what you do with what’s been done to you.

Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.

I believe that God has planted in every heart the desire to live in freedom.

The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave.

What’s real freedom? Real freedom is being able to not have my way and still be just as happy as if I did.

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

You don’t have to turn on the TV set. You don’t have to work on the Internet. It’s up to you.

Human beings may well be unable to break free of the dictatorship of greed that spreads like a miasma over the world, but no longer will we be an inarticulate and ignorant humanity, confused by our enslavement to superior cruelty and weaponry.

Freedom without limits is just a word.

A well governed appetite is the greater part of liberty.

Liberty is the right to do what I like; license, the right to do what you like.

Yes, across Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand truth. The wall cannot withstand freedom.

Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains.

The momentum of freedom in our world is unmistakable – and it is not carried forward by our power alone. We can trust in that greater power Who guides the unfolding of the years. And in all that is to come, we can know that His purposes are just and true.

The truth is, no one of us can be free until everybody is free.

There’s just some magic in truth and honesty and openness.

We are a nation founded as a rebuke to tyranny. A nation of revolutionaries who refused sovereign reign from afar. Hear me – we’re a nation that says give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. A nation built on our differences, guided by the belief that we’re all created equal.

America is known as a country that welcomes people to its shores. All kinds of people. The image of the Statue of Liberty with Emma Lazarus‘ famous poem. She lifts her lamp and welcomes people to the golden shore, where they will not experience prejudice because of the color of their skin, the religious faith that they follow.

In the literal sense, there has been no relevant evolution since the trek from Africa. But there has been substantial progress towards higher standards of rights, justice and freedom – along with all too many illustrations of how remote is the goal of a decent society.

But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.

I wish I could say to all those people who consider themselves anarchists or radicals: Please join the nonviolent movement. This is how Gandhi freed India. If Gandhi freed India, we can certainly free the United States from our racism, misogyny, and bigotry.

You don’t have to be like everybody else or do things like everybody else. God created you to be a unique individual, and He wants you to be free to be who He made you to be.

Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people.

Ladies and gentlemen, god bless America – land of the free, home of the brave.

We can’t just choose to tell some facts and not others because we don’t want to upset people. We have to tell it like it is.

Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.

No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky.

When even one American – who has done nothing wrong – is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth – then all Americans are in peril.

Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate.

I only ask to be free. The butterflies are free.

For me, it’s about becoming a mogul, owning my own projects, and establishing myself as a funding producer. That’s what’s big to me. The movies and all that stuff are great, but the fact that I’m in a position to do what I want to do, however I want to do it and when I want to do it is bigger.

It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters.

Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward, and freedom will be defended.

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it.

I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out; and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in.
