Freedom

Famous quotes containing the word freedom:

“The English people believes itself to be free; it is gravely mistaken; it is free only during election of members of parliament; as soon as the members are elected, the people is enslaved; it is nothing. In the brief moment of its freedom, the English people makes such a use of that freedom that it deserves to lose it.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)

“Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)

“History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.”
—Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969)
