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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
No one is truly free, they are a slave to wealth, fortune, the law, or other people restraining them from acting according to their will.
Either we are all free, or we fail; democracy must belong to all of us.
No country is free unless it is democratic.
Nobody's free until everybody's free.
I do believe that freedom isn't free - but today the corporate and political right wing is trying to cheapen this truly American value. They've been cynically using the word 'freedom' to rally the American public against its own best interests.
Man is not free unless government is limited.
Until we are all free, we are none of us free.
We know from our own history that democratic institutions take decades to mature, and we know from past conflicts that freedom is not free.
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.
The essence of a democracy is a free electorate.
