On our nations’ 234th independence day weekend, it is important to take time out and focus on all the wonderful things we have in this great country. In many nations of the world, freedom of religion, freedom of earning a living in any area we choose, and freedom of speech is only a fantasy. In the United States, these freedoms are not only allowed, but guaranteed under the constitution. On this day, I am going to print some of my favorite quotes concerning freedom:
1.”Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation and freedom in all just pursuits.”
Thomas Jefferson
2. “Liberty, taking the word in its concrete sense, consists in the ability to choose.”
Simone Weil
3.”Freedom is the oxygen of the soul.”
Moshe Dayan
4. “Those who won our independence believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty.”
Louis Brandeis
5. “You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.”
Malcolm X
Remember not to take our freedom for granted!
Happy Independence Day!
