I had fought for my independence and fought for my freedom to do as I chose.

But I would have executed much greater things, had not government always opposed my exertions, and placed others in situations which would have suited my talents.

I had reasoned this out in my mind, there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other.

I will keep my word. My father fled Cuba, and I will fight to defend liberty because my family knows what it's like to lose it.

Give me liberty or give me death.

Liberty is ceding a certain amount of your ability to do what you want so that everybody else can live in peace and freedom and respecting the rights of other people.

I would fight every month. Think about the finances I would have. That would be financial freedom.

I would rather belong to a poor nation that was free than to a rich nation that had ceased to be in love with liberty.

If I were an innocent individual, flown to a foreign country and held for several years and tortured, I'd become a terrorist, too. I'd go to war against the U.S.

I would rather not be a king than to forfeit my liberty.
