Look, freedom is an overwhelming American notion. The idea that we want to see the world, the peoples of the world free is something that all of us subscribe to.

Once people who have been deprived of basic freedom taste a little of it, they want all of it.

Hearts were made for being broken. There's really no way around it if you want to be a human being.

I am a caged bird, rattling the bars of my cage, with furious flutterings, break my chains! Free my spirit! Let me fly with the wings you have drawn upon my soul with heaven dipped ink

All over the world, there is someone sitting in a cell because he or she is not allowed freedom of expression.

we must not only get on our knees and pray for God's kingdom to come, but also get up and participate in the answer to our prayers by bringing the promised good news to the poor, binding up the brokenhearted, freeing the captives, and releasing those held in captive by the darkness. That is, after all, what ezers who follow Jesus are supposed to do.

Most of my young years were spent under the boots of the military.

Liberty is the parent of science and of virtue, and a nation will be great in both in proportion as it is free.

Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary bondage on them.
