The greatest freedom is to be obedient and faithful to God. As we yield ourselves to God’s love and mercy, we are liberated from the suffering of sins. No longer are we dominated by unreasonable fears, compulsions and addictions. We live in peace and unity with all people. Despair and rage pass away.
My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.
-Adlai E. Stevenson
Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices.
-Theodor W. Adorno
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
-Benjamin Franklin
It is hard to find a man who has desire for what he has not tasted, or who tastes the world and is untouched. Here in the world some crave pleasure, some seek freedom but it is hard to find a man who wants neither. It is hard to find a man who has an open mind, who neither seeks nor shuns wealth or pleasure, duty or liberation, life or death…He does not want the world to end. He does not mind if it lasts. Whatever befalls him, He lives in happiness.
Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Liberty: One of Imagination's most precious possessions.
-Ambrose Bierce
Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.
-Jean Paul Sartre
Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
