Freedom Thoughts...

"Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one." -Benjamin Franklin

"Freedom is not procured by a full enjoyment of what is desired, but by controlling the desire." -Epictetus

"By academic freedom I understand the right to search for truth and to publish and teach what one holds to be true. This right implies also a duty: one must not conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true. It is evident that any restriction on academic freedom acts in such a way as to hamper the dissemination of knowledge among the people and thereby impedes national judgment and action."

-Albert Einstein

"People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use." -Soren Kierkegaard

"I believe in freedom for everyone, not just the black man." -Bob Marley

"Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will."

-Nelson Mandela

"With great freedom comes great responsibility." -Spiderman

"The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first. You can take away a man's political freedom and you won't hurt him- unless you take away his freedom to feel. That can destroy him. That kind of freedom can't be granted. Nobody can win it for you." -Jim Morrison

"True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right."

-Brigham Young

"It is by the fortune of God that, in this country, we have three benefits: freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and the wisdom never to use either." -Mark Twain

"Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes." -Mahatma Gandhi

"Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth."

-John F. Kennedy

"Forgiveness is the key to action and freedom." -Hannah Arendt

"Freedom means the opportunity to be what we never thought we would be." -Daniel Boorstin

"When you are free in Jesus, you are free indeed."

-John 8:36, The Bible

be God's!
