Independence Mountain

Famous quotes containing the words independence and/or mountain:

    “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)

    “The mountain throws a shadow,
    Thin is the moon’s horn;
    What did we remember
    Under the ragged thorn?
    Dread has followed longing,
    And our hearts are torn.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
