True freedom is always spiritual. It has something to do with your innermost being, which cannot be chained, handcuffed, or put into a jail.
Patterning your life around other's opinions is nothing more than slavery.
No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session.
There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere.
At this time is freedom anything but the right to live as we wish? Nothing else.
Here is my advice as we begin the century that will lead to 2081. First, guard the freedom of ideas at all costs. Be alert that dictators have always played on the natural human tendency to blame others and to oversimplify. And don't regard yourself as a guardian of freedom unless you respect and preserve the rights of people you disagree with to free, public, unhampered expression.
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.
You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.
This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither.

When the representative body have lost the confidence of their constituents, when they have notoriously made sale of their most valuable rights, when they have assumed to themselves powers which the people never put into their hands, then indeed their continuing in office becomes dangerous to the state
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.
I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.
Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.
You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.
If you're not ready to die for it, put the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.
Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life.
