A free people, free to believe as we wish, free to speak our minds, free to raise our children as we see fit, will, make no mistake about it, endure.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The first need of a free people is to define their own terms.
I would like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free... so other people would be also free.
To be free is to have achieved your life.
A free America... means just this: individual freedom for all, rich or poor, or else this system of government we call democracy is only an expedient to enslave man to the machine and make him like it.
Free people make the only milieu possible in society for the full gift of one's self to church, state, and family. Free people enjoy and sustain and feel with one another because they live for one another. The paths of life are intermingled lives.
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.
People cannot be free unless they are willing to sacrifice some of their interests to guarantee the freedom of others. The price of democracy is the ongoing pursuit of the common good by all of the people.
For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
Let us all learn to be free, and to be loyal.
Until we are all free, we are none of us free.
