Independence Day

Famous quotes containing the words independence and/or day:

    We must have constantly present in our minds the difference between independence and liberty. Liberty is a right of doing whatever the laws permit, and if a citizen could do what they forbid he would no longer be possessed of liberty.
    —Charles Louis de Secondat Montesquieu (1689–1755)

    A day in April never came so sweet,
    To show how costly summer was at hand,
    As this fore-spurrer comes before his lord.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
