Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not
for themselves. ~Abraham Lincoln

"Our cause is noble; it is the cause of mankind!" ~ George Washington
"Isn't our choice really not one of left or right, but of up or down? Down
through the welfare state to statism, to more and more government largesse
accompanied always by more government authority, less individual liberty, and
ultimately, totalitarianism, always advanced as for our own good. The
alternative is the dream conceived by our Founding Fathers, up to the ultimate
in individual freedom consistent with an orderly society. We don't celebrate
dependence day on the Fourth of July. We celebrate Independence Day." ~
Ronald Reagan (1984)
"It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of
Devotion to God Almighty. ... I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and
Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and
defend these States. Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing
Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And
that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue
it, which I trust in God We shall not." ~ John Adams
Freedom is not an unlimited license, an unlimited choice, or an unlimited
opportunity. Freedom is first of all a responsibility before the God from whom
we come.
~Alan Keyes
Books were my pass to personal freedom. I learned to read at age three, and soon
discovered there was a whole world to conquer that went beyond our farm in
Mississippi.
~Oprah Winfrey (1954-) US TV personality |
