I decided to do quotes about Freedom for the letter F. I find that quotes are little glimpses of the past. It is always interesting to see what others have to say about other subjects.
Legum servi sumus ut liberi esse possimus. (We are slaves of the law so that we may be free.)
~ Cicero
Liberae sunt nostrae cogitationes. (Our thoughts are free.)
~Cicero
Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people.
~John Adams
Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
~Mahatma Gandhi
Man was born free, but everywhere he is in chains.
~Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Only the educated are free.
~Epicetus
Freedom is the right to live as we wish.
~Epicetus
The basis of a democratic state is liberty.
~Aristotle
Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.
~John Milton
History teaches us that grave threats to liberty often come in times of urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to endure.
~Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall
Nice quotes! You are right, they are little glimpses of the past :)
