- The friendships of the world are oft confederacies in vice, or leagues of pleasures.
- Joseph Addison (1672 - 1719)
- 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.
- Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882 - 1945)
- It requires greater courage to preserve inner freedom, to move on in one's inward journey into new realms, than to stand defiantly for outer freedom. It is often easier to play the martyr, as it is to be rash in battle.
- Rollo May
- Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of fear is a freedom.
- Marilyn Ferguson
- Indignation boils my blood at the thought of the heritage we are throwing away; at the thought that, with few exceptions, the fight for freedom is left to the poor, forlorn and defenseless, and to the few radicals and revolutionaries who would make use of liberty to destroy, rather than to maintain, American institutions.
- Arthur Garfield Hays
- A useful definition of liberty is obtained only by seeking the principle of liberty in the main business of human life, that is to say, in the process by which men educate their responses and learn to control their environment.
- Walter Lippman
- You must pay for conformity. All goes well as long as you run with conformists. But you, who are honest men in other particulars, know that there is alive somewhere a man whose honesty reaches to this point also, that he shall not kneel to false gods, and, on the day when you meet him, you sink into the class of counterfeits.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
- There is nothing more wonderful than freedom of speech.
- Ilya Ehrenburg
- You can protect your liberties in this world only by protecting the other man's freedom. You can be free only if I am free.
- Clarence Darrow (1857 - 1938)
- The aim of art, the aim of a life can only be to increase the sum of freedom and responsibility to be found in every man and in the world. It cannot, under any circumstances, be to reduce or suppress that freedom, even temporarily. No great work has ever been based on hatred and contempt. On the contrary, there is not a single true work of art that has not in the end added to the inner freedom of each person who has known and loved it.
- Albert Camus (1913 - 1960)
