Better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
Adlai Stevenson
Freedom is not an ideal, it is not even a protection, if it means nothing more than freedom to stagnate, to live without dreams, to have no greater aim than a second car and another television set.
Adolf Hitler
If freedom is short of weapons, we must compensate with willpower.
Albert Camus
Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better.
Alexis De Tocqueville
I should have loved freedom, I believe, at all times, but in the time in which we live I am ready to worship it.
Ayn Rand

There is only one force of history that can break the reign of hatred and resentment, and expose the pretensions of tyrants, and reward the hopes of the decent and tolerant, and that is the force of human freedom.
GK Chesterton
Most modern freedom is at root fear. It is not so much that we are too bold to endure rules; it is rather that we are too timid to endure responsibilities.
Henry Mencken
Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one.
James Baldwin
Freedom is not something that anybody can be given; freedom is something people take and people are as free as they want to be.
