Power in defense of freedom is greater than power in behalf of tyranny and oppression, because power, real power, comes from our conviction which produces action, uncompromising action.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Ultimately, freedom and democracy are stronger than fear and tyranny.
Freedom is a man's natural power of doing what he pleases, so far as he is not prevented by force or law.
Freedom is not won by merely overthrowing a tyrannical ruler or an oppressive regime. That is usually only the prelude to a new tyranny, a new oppression.
Freedom is the one value conservatives place above all others, yet time and again, their ideal of freedom ignores the growing imbalance of power in our society that's eroding the freedoms of most people.
Freedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it.
The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not sufficient warrant.
I do believe in the power of freedom. The power of freedom is the mightiest force of history. Once that power unleashes, it ultimately leads to peace and prosperity.
We have to recognize that the freedom of the individual has to be protected not only from the power of the state, but even more so from economic and societal power.
The precondition to freedom is security.
Power is the chance to impose your will within a social context, even when opposed and regardless of the integrity of that chance.
