I would like to think that in America, as time goes on, you gain freedom, not lose freedom.

May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.

Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.

Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.

Day after day we must remember we can take freedom for granted. Day after day we must keep the bond between freedom and other values in mind.

My idea of freedom is that we should protect the rights of people to believe what their conscience dictates, but fight equally hard to protect people from having the beliefs of others imposed upon them.

So long as you do not achieve social liberty, whatever freedom is provided by the law is of no avail to you.

Well, one thing, you got to stand in a courtroom and listen to a judge sentencing you to 25 years in prison before you realize that freedom of expression can no longer be taken for granted.

There is no such thing as a little freedom. Either you are all free, or you are not free.

For you who no longer posses it, freedom is everything, for us who do, it is merely an illusion.
