Famous quotes containing the words freedom and/or roam:

    “To thee, fair Freedom! I retire
    From flattery, cards, and dice, and din:
    Nor art thou found in mansions higher
    Than the low cot, or humble inn.

    ‘Tis here with boundless pow’r I reign;
    And ev’ry health which I begin
    Converts dull port to bright champagne;
    Such Freedom crowns it, at an inn.”
    —William Shenstone (1714–1763)

    “Let none turn over books, or roam the stars in quest of God, who sees him not in man.”
    —Johann Kaspar Lavater (1741–1801)
