Freedom

Famous quotes containing the word freedom:

    Tyranny destroys or strengthens the individual; freedom enervates him, until he becomes no more than a puppet. Man has more chances of saving himself by hell than by paradise.
    E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)

    Gardening is civil and social, but it wants the vigor and freedom of the forest and the outlaw.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    There should be a sympathy with freedom, a desire to give it scope, founded not upon visionary ideas, but upon the long experience of many generations within the shores of this happy isle, that in freedom you lay the firmest foundations both of loyalty and order.
    —W.E. (William Ewart)
