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 Shimon Peres

  • "What is wrong with the Iranians in addition to the nuclear bomb? This is the only country on Earth in the 21st century that has renewed imperialistic ambitions. They really want to become the hegemon of the Middle East in an age that gave up imperialism."

  • "The older generation had greater respect for land than science. But we live in an age when science, more than soil, has become the provider of growth and abundance. Living just on the land creates loneliness in an age of globality."

  • "You know who is against democracy in the Middle East? The husbands. They got used to their way of life. Now, the traditional way of life must change. Everybody must change. If you don't give equal rights to women, you can't progress."

  • "Bringing an end to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians may help the young Arab generation to realise their aspirations. Israel is more than willing to offer our experience in building a modern economy in spite of limited resources to the whole region."

  • "I call on the Iranian people: it is not too late to replace the corrupt regime and return to your glorious Persian heritage, a heritage of culture and values and not of bombs and missiles... How can a nation allow a regime to instill fear, take away the people's freedom and shock the young generation that seeks its way out of the dictatorial Iran."
