but in having the right to do what we ought. ……Pope John Paul II

In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed;
it must be achieved. …….Franklin D. Roosevelt


Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men;
So it must be daily earned and refreshed;
else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die. ……Dwight D. Eisenhower

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. …….Abraham Lincoln

There are two freedoms:
- the false, where a man is free to do what he likes;
-the true, where he is free to do what he ought. ……..Charles Kingsley

but because we practice it. …….William Faulkner

Let freedom never perish in your hands. ……..Joseph Addison

if it does not include the Freedom to make mistakes. ………Mahatma Gandhi

When freedom does not have a purpose,
when it does not wish to know anything about the rule of law
engraved in the hearts of men and women,
when it does not listen to the voice of conscience,
it turns against humanity and society. ……Pope John Paul II
