Freedom all solace to man gives
He lives at ease who freely lives.

JOHN BARBOUR

---

For one to be free there must be at least two. Freedom signifies a social relation, an asymmetry of social conditions: essentially it implies social difference--it presumes and implies the presence of social division. Some can be free only in so far as there is a form of dependence they can aspire to escape.

ZYGMUNT BAUMAN

---

It is the mind of man alone that is the cause of his bondage or freedom.

CHANAKYA

---

Since freedom is not a fixed thing that can be grasped and held once for all, but a growth, any particular society, such as our own, always appears partly free and partly unfree. In so far as it favors, in every child, the development of his highest possibilities, it is free, but where it falls short of this it is not.

CHARLES HORTON COOLEY

---

Freedom is the fundamental condition for any growth.

ERICH FROMM

---

Can this be happiness, this terrifying freedom?

ALBERT CAMUS

---

God's work is freedom. Freedom is dear to his heart. He wishes to make man's will free, and at the same time wishes it to be pure, majestic, and holy.

E. H. CHAPIN

---

May the light of freedom, coming to all darkened lands, flame brightly--until at last the darkness is no more.

DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

---

Freedom (n.): To ask nothing. To expect nothing. To depend on nothing.

AYN RAND

---

Any bonds today?
Bonds of freedom
That's what I'm selling
Any bonds today?
Scrape up the most you can
Here comes the freedom man

DUKE ELLINGTON

---

Freedom and not servitude is the cure of anarchy; as religion, and not atheism, is the true remedy of superstition.

EDMUND BURKE

---

The cause of Freedom is the cause of God!

WILLIAM LISLE BOWLES

---

Without total freedom, every perception, every objective regard, is twisted. It is only the man who is totally free who can look and understand immediately. Freedom implies really, doesn't it, the total emptying of the mind. Completely to empty the whole content of the mind--that is real freedom. Freedom is not mere revolt from circumstances, which again breeds other circumstances, other environmental influences, which enslave the mind. We are talking about a freedom that comes naturally, easily, unasked for, when the mind is capable of functioning at its highest level.

JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI

---

Saying that you reject socialism because you love freedom is like saying you reject chocolate because you hate bananas.

CHANA O'LEARY

---

The more freedom you give people to do good, the more freedom they have to do bad as well.

TAD WILLIAMS

---

We know what works: Freedom works. We know what's right: Freedom is right. We know how to secure a more just and prosperous life for man on Earth: through free markets, free speech, free elections, and the exercise of free will unhampered by the state.

GEORGE H. W. BUSH

---

I am as free as Nature first made man,
Ere the base laws of servitude began,
When wild in woods the noble savage ran.

JOHN DRYDEN

---

The cry for freedom is a sign of suppression. It will not cease to ring as long as man feels himself captive. As diverse as the cries for freedom may be, basically they all express one and the same thing: The intolerability of the rigidity of the organism and of the machine-like institutions which create a sharp conflict with the natural feelings for life. Not until there is a social order in which all cries for freedom subside will man have overcome his biological and social crippling, will he have attained genuine freedom.

WILHELM REICH

---

Love of country follows from the exercise of its freedoms, not from pride in its fleets or its armies.

LEWIS H. LAPHAM

---

Real freedom lies in wildness, not in civilization.

CHARLES LINDBERGH
