Quotations regarding 'Freedom'

Choose a letter: 
There is a requirement to ensure the withdrawal takes place in a civilized manner. We will be able to show the world we deserve independence and freedom.
Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian Statesman (1935-  )
We need international support so that our people live a life of normality, of dignity, of liberty and freedom. I hope that our cry for freedom may be heard.
Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian Statesman (1935-  )
When I began we did not really have a lot of First Amendment law. It is really surprising to think of it this way, but a lot of the law - most of the law that relates to the First Amendment freedom of the press in America - is really within living memory.
Floyd Abrams, American Lawyer
So sometimes the facts are good and sometimes the facts are bad, the important thing from the point of view of a principle as broad and important as freedom of speech is that the courts articulate and set forth in a very protective way what those principles are.
Floyd Abrams, American Lawyer
No people in history have ever survived who thought they could protect their freedom by making themselves inoffensive to their enemies.
Dean Acheson, American Statesman (1893-1971)
If a jerk burns the flag, America is not threatened, democracy is not under siege, freedom is not at risk.
Gary Ackerman, American Politician (1942-  )
It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.
Samuel Adams, American Revolutionary (1722-  )
The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks.
Samuel Adams, American Revolutionary (1722-  )
When others stood idly by, you and your families gave your all, in defence of a risen people and in pursuit of Irish freedom and unity.
Gerry Adams, Irish Politician (1948-  )
Your determination, selflessness and courage have brought the freedom struggle towards its fulfilment.
Gerry Adams, Irish Politician (1948-  )
The freedom now desired by many is not freedom to do and dare but freedom from care and worry.
James Truslow Adams, American Historian (1878-1949)
When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.
John Adams, American President (1735-1826)
Posterity: you will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it.
John Quincy Adams, American President (1767-1848)
But in the first Gulf war the United Kingdom was not under any threat from Iraq, and is still less so in the second one. Then there is no justification for obstructing freedom of information, particularly as nations have a right to know what their soldiers are being used for.
Kate Adie, British Journalist (1945-  )
I keep telling myself to calm down, to take less of an interest in things and not to get so excited, but I still care a lot about liberty, freedom of speech and expression, and fairness in journalism.
Kate Adie, British Journalist (1945-  )
Every therapeutic cure, and still more, any awkward attempt to show the patient the truth, tears him from the cradle of his freedom from responsibility and must therefore reckon with the most vehement resistance.
Alfred Adler, Austrian Psychologist (1870-1937)
The freedom of thought is a sacred right of every individual man, and diversity will continue to increase with the progress, refinement, and differentiation of the human intellect.
Felix Adler, German Educator (1851-1933)
Freedom is the emancipation from the arbitrary rule of other men.
Mortimer Adler, American Philosopher (1902-2001)
Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices.
Theodor Adorno, German Philosopher (1903-1969)
People should have freedom in their pilgrimages and tours. They should come and visit historical monuments and sites - let's say the sites around Iran - where they can easily engage in wide- scale contacts with others.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iranian Statesman (1956-  )
