Here are some of the Finest Thoughts on Liberty for reflection today: We on this continent should never forget that men first crossed the Atlantic not to find soil for their ploughs but to secure liberty for their souls. ~Robert J. McCracken We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home. ~Edward R. Murrow Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it. ~Thomas Paine Nations grown corrupt Love bondage more than liberty; Bondage with ease than strenuous liberty. ~John Milton I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. ~James Madison Men fight for freedom, then they begin to accumulate laws to take it away from themselves. ~Author Unknown Freedom is the oxygen of the soul. ~Moshe Dayan Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. ~Abraham Lincoln No man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck. ~Frederick Douglass Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes." ~Mahatma Gandhi Liberty is always dangerous, but it is the safest thing we have. ~Harry Emerson Fosdick My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular. ~Adlai Stevenson We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it. ~William Faulkner Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it. ~George Bernard Shaw
