Quotations
Freedom
We gain freedom when we have paid the full price for our right to live.
-Rabindranath Tagore
People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid.
-Søren Kierkegaard
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.
-Ashtavakra Gita "Ashtavakra Gita 17:4-7"
Freedom is never given; it is won.
-A. Philip Randolph
Freedom is limited by the need to coexist.
-Toba Beta
"My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut"
Liberty a word without which all other words are vain.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
Only free men can negotiate, prisoners cannot enter into contracts.
-Nelson Mandela
Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
-Nelson Mandela
