"We don't appreciate what we have until it's gone. Freedom is like that. It's like air. When you have it, you don't notice it."
"Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged."

Dwight D. Eisenhower on Freedom"I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do."
Robert A. Heinlein on Freedom"Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err."
Mahatma Gandhi on Freedom"A man must live like a great brilliant flame and burn as brightly as he can. In the end he burns out. But this is far better than a mean little flame."
