If we lose our title of "land of the free," what have we got?
-- Helen Thomas

* The essence of all slavery consists in taking the product of another's labor by force. It is immaterial whether this force be founded upon ownership of the slave or ownership of the money that he must get to live.
-- Leo Tolstoy

* "If you are tired, keep going; if you are scared, keep going; if you are hungry; keep going; if you want to taste freedom, keep going."
-- Harriet Tubman

* "We must not allow ourselves to become like the system we oppose. We cannot afford to use methods of which we will be ashamed when we look back, when we say, '...we shouldn't have done that.' We must remember, my friends, that we have been given a wonderful cause. The cause of freedom! And you and I must be those who will walk with heads held high. We will say, 'We used methods that can stand the harsh scrutiny of history.'
-- Archbishop Desmond Tutu

In America, through pressure of conformity, there is freedom of choice, but nothing to choose from.
-- Peter Ustinov

* Democracy is constructed like an edifice, freedom by freedom, right by right, until it reaches its snapping point.
-- Abdoulaye Wade

* "For in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle; and one faces down fears of today so that those of tomorrow might be engaged.
~Alice Walker

* The shallow consider liberty a release from all law, from every constraint. The wise see in it, on the contrary, the potent Law of Laws.
-- Walt Whitman
* There is much to be done, there is much that can be done… one person of integrity can make a difference, a difference of life and death. As long as one dissident is in prison, our freedom will not be true. As long as one child is hungry, our lives will be filled with anguish and shame. What all these victims need above all is to know that they are not alone; that we are not forgetting them, that when their voices are stifled we shall lend them ours, that while their freedom depends on ours, the quality of our freedom depends on theirs.
-- Elie Wiesel

Freedom is not a gift of heaven, you have to fight for it every day”
-- Simon Wiesenthal

* “There is no freedom without justice.”
-- Simon Wiesenthal

* Freedom is an indivisible word. If we want to enjoy it, and fight for it, we must be prepared to extend it to everyone, whether they are rich or poor, whether they agree with us or not, no matter what their race or the color of their skin.
-- Wendell Wilkie

Whenever we take away the liberties of those whom we hate we are opening the way to loss of liberty for those we love.
-- Wendell Wilkie

When we talk of freedom and opportunity for all nations, the mocking paradoxes in our own society become so clear they can no longer be ignored.
-- Wendell Wilkie

* A free America... means just this: individual freedom for all, rich or poor, or else this system of government we call democracy is only an expedient to enslave man to the machine and make him like it.
-- Frank Lloyd Wright

True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right.
-- Brigham Young
