I had reasoned this out in my mind there was one of two things I had a right to liberty or death if I could not have one I would have the other.

I know not what others may choose but as for me give me liberty or give me death.

Justifying conscription to promote the cause of liberty is one of the most bizarre notions ever conceived by man! Forced servitude with the risk of death and serious injury as a price to live free makes no sense.

Give me liberty or give me death.

Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take but as for me give me liberty or give me death!

I know that throughout their history the people of the United States defended their freedom their liberty their justice and their rights - if need be - with their lives. I think their courage is so admirable.

Those who won our independence... valued liberty as an end and as a means. They believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty.

Courage is what preserves our liberty safety life and our homes and parents our country and children. Courage comprises all things.

We the people. Manifest Destiny. Conceived in liberty. Fear itself. Ask not. Morning in America. United we stand. Yes we can. In times of great change and tumult presidents seek to inspire beleaguered Americans by reminding them of their national identity.

The ultimate end of all revolutionary social change is to establish the sanctity of human life the dignity of man the right of every human being to liberty and well-being.

There is no such thing as liberty. You only change one sort of domination for another. All we can do is to choose our master.

It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may by change of circumstances become his own.

The American flag is an enduring symbol of liberty democracy and justice. It is fitting that the House act to protect it as we approach our nation's birthday and as our men and women in uniform rally behind it in Iraq's battlefields.

Learned Institutions ought to be favorite objects with every free people. They throw that light over the public mind which is the best security against crafty and dangerous encroachments on the public liberty.

Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life secondly to liberty and thirdly to property together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can.

I know my country has not perfected itself. At times we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We've made our share of mistakes and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.

If liberty and equality as is thought by some are chiefly to be found in democracy they will be best attained when all persons alike share in government to the utmost.

I do believe very much in the idea of unexpected or 'convulsive' beauty - beauty in the service of liberty.

Humanism was not wrong in thinking that truth beauty liberty and equality are of infinite value but in thinking that man can get them for himself without grace.

My grandfather was a man when he talked about freedom his attitude was really interesting. His view was that you had obligations or you had responsibilities and when you fulfilled those obligations or responsibilities that then gave you the liberty to do other things.

I run from Horatio Street down just past Battery Park City and back. It's amazing to run and see the Statue of Liberty and the ferries coming in. People think if you're not near Central Park there's nowhere to go but there's a whole ecosystem happening down here.

Your Majesty I took the liberty because I was so desirous of visiting alone with you for a few minutes before the rest of the other peasants arrived.

Others indeed may talk and write and fight about liberty and make an outward pretence to it but the free-thinker alone is truly free.

In my youth I stressed freedom and in my old age I stress order. I have made the great discovery that liberty is a product of order.
