"We call our country home of the brave and land of the free, but it's not. We give a false portrayal of freedom. We're not free - if we were, we'd allow people their freedom."

Jesse Ventura on Freedom

More quotes about Freedom

  • "Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged."

    Ronald Reagan on Freedom

    Nelson Mandela on Freedom

  • "If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom."

    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

More quotes by Jesse Ventura

  • "I also believe that government has no business telling us how we should live our lives. I think our lifestyle choices should be left up to us. What we do in our private lives is none of the government's business. That position rules out the Republican Party for me."

  • "Government's role should be only to keep the playing field level, and to work hand in hand with business on issues such as employment. But beyond this, to as great an extent as possible, it should get the hell out of the way."

  • "Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business."

  • "I don't think I would want the responsibility for enforcing the death penalties. There's always the inevitable question of whether someone you gave the order to execute might truly have been innocent."

  • "There are lots of people out there who think they know the truth about God and religion, but does anybody really know for sure? That's why the founding fathers built freedom of religious belief into the structure of this nation, so that everybody could make up their minds for themselves."
