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.
Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life.
We will not be led like sheep to the slaughter.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
I believe in a religion that believes in freedom. Any time I have to accept a religion that won't let me fight a battle for my people, I say to hell with that religion.
The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.

It is doubtful whether the oppressed ever fight for freedom. They fight for pride and power-power to oppress others.

You don't have to be a man to fight for freedom. All you have to do is to be an intelligent human being.
I can remember when Democrats believed that it was the duty of America to fight for freedom over tyranny.
Only through hardship, sacrifice and militant action can freedom be won. The struggle is my life. I will continue fighting for freedom until the end of my days.
Sometimes it seem like to tell the truth today is to run the risk of being killed. But if I fall, I'll fall five feet four inches forward in the fight for freedom. I'm not backing off.
There are some who apparently feel that the fight for freedom is separate from the Gospel. They express it in several ways, but it generally boils down to this: Just live the gospel; there's no need to get involved in trying to save freedom and the Constitution or stop communism....
