Freedom

Famous quotes containing the word freedom:

—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

“No slavery can be abolished without a double emancipation, and the master will benefit by freedom more than the freed-man.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

“There is no freedom in Europe—that’s certain—it is besides a worn out portion of the globe.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
