“The greatest glory of a free-born people is to transmit that freedom to their children.” – William Havard
“All our freedoms are a single bundle, all must be secure if any is to be preserved.” – Dwight D. Eisenhower
“This is what I call the American idea of freedom – a government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people; of course, a government of the principles of eternal justice – the unchanging law of God.” – Theodore Parker
“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.” – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“No free government, or the blessings of liberty can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue, and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.” – Patrick Henry “Freedom of religion, freedom of the press, and freedom of person under the protection of habeas corpus, these are the principles that have guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation.” – Thomas Jefferson
“Suffocation of human freedom among a once free people, however quietly and peacefully accomplished, is more far-reaching in its implications and its effects on their future than the destruction of their homes, industrial centers and transportation facilities. Out of rubble heaps, willing hands can rebuild a better city; but out of freedom lost can stem only generations of hate and bitter struggle and brutal oppression.” Dwight D. Eisenhower
“Liberty is not merely a privilege to be conferred; it is a habit to be acquired.” – David Lloyd George
“Our nation was founded as an experiment in human liberty. Its institutions reflect the belief of our founders that men had their origin and destiny in God; that they were endowed by Him with inalienable rights and had duties prescribed by moral law, and that human institutions ought to primarily help men develop their God-given possibilities.” – John Foster Dulles
“The spark of liberty in the mind and spirit of man cannot be long extinguished; it will break into flames that will destroy every coercion which seems to limit it.” – Herbert Hoover
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights; and that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” – Thomas Jefferson
“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! … I know not what course others may take, but, as for me, give me liberty or give me death.” – Patrick Henry
“If the true spark of religious and civil liberty be kindled, it will burn. Human agency cannot extinguish it. Like the earth’s eternal fire, it may be smothered for a time; the ocean may overwhelm it; mountains may press it down; but its inherent and unconquerable force will heave both the oceans and the land, and at some time or another, in some place or another, the volcano will break out and flame to heaven.” – Daniel Webster
