Within the United States, we have put great emphasis upon political freedoms. Because it has been our experience that these freedoms can lead to others.

Growing up in the '50s and being in the '60s, in that revolutionary time space, I thought freedom was what I was looking for. Slowly but surely, it became clear that the last thing I was interested in was freedom. Because if you're going to be free, you have to be free from something.

Freedom is a unique concept that everyone interprets differently.

Among the many values in life, I appreciate freedom most.

It's difficult to put into words what freedom feels like. You only know what freedom feels like if you know what it feels like to not be free.

Freedom was the desire of our people throughout centuries. Freedom enabled our people to be owners of their destiny.

It's always been something I've been searching for - freedom. It's a very relative thing. It means different things to different people.

Freedom is an indivisible word. If we want to enjoy it, and fight for it, we must be prepared to extend it to everyone, whether they are rich or poor, whether they agree with us or not, no matter what their race or the color of their skin.

Look, freedom is an overwhelming American notion. The idea that we want to see the world, the peoples of the world free is something that all of us subscribe to.

I wish we would all remember that being American is not just about the freedom we have; it is about those who gave it to us.
