Famous quotes containing the words liberty, bell, traveling and/or freedom:

    A President Roosevelt comes only once in a century. I believe God knew and does know of the need of the world at this moment. I don’t believe President Roosevelt is an accident in time, or that it is an accident that he is President for a third time. I believe that Franklin D. Roosevelt truly is the voice of liberty in the world.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    I go, and it is done; the bell invites me.
    Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a knell
    That summons thee to heaven, or to hell.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Hope, deceitful though it be, is at least of this good use to us—that while we are traveling through this life, it conducts us by an easier and more pleasant way to our journey’s end.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    the child unlucky in his little State,
    Some hearth where freedom is excluded,
    A hive whose honey is fear and worry,
    Feels calmer now and somehow assured of escape;
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
