We are free, but not to be evil, not to be indifferent to human suffering, not to profit from the people, from the work created and sustained through their spirit of political association, while refusing to contribute to the political state that we profit from.

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.

We are 5 percent of the global population and consume a third of the total resources - on some level we should all feel guilty relative to the world.

We must never forget that many around the globe are denied the basic rights we enjoy as Americans. If we are to continue enjoying these privileges and freedoms we must accept our mission of expanding democracy around the globe.

That's why our country is such a beautiful, beautiful experiment: We manifest, we allow freedom if you follow certain rules and if you work really hard. That's at the root of our cherished values.

We live in a land like no other - a land of freedom and opportunity unparalleled on the face of the globe.

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

In a world of global dependencies with no corresponding global polity and few tools of global justice, the rich of the world are free to pursue their own interests while paying no attention to the rest.

The United States is the leader of the free world.

America in particular imposes an horrendous burden on the world. We have this wonderful standard of living but it comes at enormous cost.
