The 4th of July: America’s Independence Day is normally filled with the 3 F’s – food, friends (and/or family) and fireworks. It’s also a great day for parents to slip in a little education and help our children understand what it is we are celebrating. Here are some great quotes about freedom and liberty to get you started.
“The greatest enemy of individual freedom is the individual himself.” ~ Saul Alinsky
“Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves” ~ Abraham Lincoln
“Liberty is the breath of life to nations” ~ Bernard Shaw
“Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide” ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
“Where liberty dwells, there is my country” ~ Benjamin Franklin
“We stand for freedom. That is our conviction for ourselves; that is our only commitment to others. ”
~ John F Kennedy
“Freedom is the oxygen of the soul” ~ Moshe Dayan
“All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope”. ~Winston Churchill
“Better to starve free than be a fat slave” ~ Aesop
“Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?” ~ Gandhi
“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed” ~.Martin Luther King, Jr.
“That’s why I stand here tonight. Because for two hundred and thirty two years, at each moment when that promise was in jeopardy, ordinary men and women – students and soldiers, farmers and teachers, nurses and janitors — found the courage to keep it alive.” ~ President Barrack Obama
