Liberty Bell
Few people realize how important liberty and freedom are until they are lost.
These people understood:
“The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation – enlightened as it is – if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men.” -Samuel Adams
“Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.” Ben Franklin
“A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves.” Bertrand de Jouvenel
How many quotes about liberty and freedom have we read? Do these quotes affect us in any way other than noting the cleverness of the authors? For most, the answer is no.
