Freedom Rides

Famous quotes containing the words freedom and/or rides:

“It was always accounted a virtue in a man to love his country. With us it is now something more than a virtue. It is a necessity. When an American says that he loves his country, he means not only that he loves the New England hills, the prairies glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains, the great mountains, and the sea.

—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)

“Of all the rides since the birth of time,

—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
