The danger of freedom is real, but enforced safety reeks of a much more odious danger.
Bryant McGill
The breath of an aristocrat is the death rattle of freedom.
Karl Georg Bchner
If freedom is to be saved and enlarged, poverty must be ended. There is no other solution.
Aneurin Bevan
Political Freedom without economic equality is a pretense, a fraud, a lie; and the workers want no lying.
Mikhail Alexandrovich Bakunin
Words like freedom, justice, democracy are not common concepts; on the contrary, they are rare. People are not born knowing what these are. It takes enormous and, above all, individual effort to arrive at the respect for other people that these words imply.
James Baldwin
"Freedom from fear" could be said to sum up the whole philosophy of human rights.
Dag Hammarskjld
The most dangerous diminutions of freedom come from those who are convinced of their moral rectitude.
Daniel John Hannan
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
Ronald Reagan
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
Ronald Reagan
Freedom can be manifested only in the void of beliefs, in the absence of axioms, and only where the laws have no more authority than a hypothesis.
Emil Cioran
For you who no longer posses it, freedom is everything, for us who do, it is merely an illusion.
Emil Cioran
With respect to the question of relationships, my general view is that freedom means freedom for everyone. People...ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to.
Richard Bruce "Dick" Cheney
Faced by the actual practice of freedom, the French and American revolutions would be forced to stand by their words.
William Seward Burroughs
There is simply no room left for 'freedom from the tyranny of government' since city dwellers depend on it for food, power, water, transportation, protection, and welfare. Your right to live where you want, with companions of your choosing, under laws to which you agree, died in the eighteenth century with Captain Mission. Only a miracle or a disaster could restore it.
William Seward Burroughs
