Freedom

Famous quotes containing the word freedom:

    Individuality is the aim of political liberty. By leaving to the citizen as much freedom of action and of being, as comports with order and the rights of others, the institutions render him truly a freeman. He is left to pursue his means of happiness in his own manner.
    James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)

    I’ve never understood why people consider youth a time of freedom and joy. It’s probably because they have forgotten their own.
    Margaret Atwood (b. 1939)

    What most clearly characterizes true freedom and its true employment is its misemployment.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
