Religious liberty is the first freedom in our Constitution. And whether the cause is justice for the persecuted, compassion for the needy and the sick, or mercy for the child waiting to be born, there is no greater force for good in the nation than Christian conscience in action.

Freedom of choice is more to be treasured than any possession earth can give.

Freedom is the right to live as we wish.

The precondition to freedom is security.

Freedom is the oxygen of the soul.

The best road to progress is freedom's road.

A free America... means just this: individual freedom for all, rich or poor, or else this system of government we call democracy is only an expedient to enslave man to the machine and make him like it.

Freedom means the opportunity to be what we never thought we would be.

Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

True freedom is where an individual's thoughts and actions are in alignment with that which is true, correct, and of honor - no matter the personal price.

Freedom is what beauty feels like when it can most express itself.

Freedom and order are not incompatible... truth is strength... free discussion is the very life of truth.

Freedom comes with responsibility.

Freedom in general may be defined as the absence of obstacles to the realization of desires.

Freedom is a possession of inestimable value.

Freedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it.

Freedom is not negotiable.

Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.

The precondition to freedom is security.

There is only one kind of freedom and that's individual liberty. Our lives come from our creator and our liberty comes from our creator. It has nothing to do with government granting it.

Freedom is not the absence of obligation or restraint, but the freedom of movement within healthy, chosen parameters.

Freedom. And Justice. If you have those two, it covers everything. You must stick to those principles and have the courage of your convictions.

Freedom comes only to those who no longer ask of life that it shall yield them any of those personal goods that are subject to the mutations of time.

Freedom is just freedom. It is a condition, not an agent of change. It does not develop or uplift those who win it. Freedom holds us accountable no matter the disadvantages we inherit from the past.

Freedom is never given; it is won.

Freedom is control in your own life.

Freedom across the world is a result of many individuals working together.

Freedom is what everyone wants - to be able to act and live with freedom. But the only way to get to a place of freedom is through discipline.

Freedom is man's capacity to take a hand in his own development. It is our capacity to mold ourselves.

Freedom in art, freedom in society, this is the double goal towards which all consistent and logical minds must strive.

Freedom is from within.

Freedom is the recognition of necessity.

Equality is the soul of liberty; there is, in fact, no liberty without it.

I believe in Liberty for all men: the space to stretch their arms and their souls, the right to breathe and the right to vote, the freedom to choose their friends, enjoy the sunshine, and ride on the railroads, uncursed by color; thinking, dreaming, working as they will in a kingdom of beauty and love.

God grant that not only the love of liberty but a thorough knowledge of the rights of man may pervade all the nations of the earth, so that a philosopher may set his foot anywhere on its surface and say: 'This is my country.'

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.

We must have constantly present in our minds the difference between independence and liberty. Liberty is a right of doing whatever the laws permit, and if a citizen could do what they forbid he would no longer be possessed of liberty.

I say let's go back to a truer use of the word 'freedom.' Let's start with President Franklin Roosevelt's Four Freedoms: freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear. I would add the freedom to bargain collectively. Those freedoms are under attack today.

Our Constitution exists to secure individual freedom, the essential condition of human flourishing. Liberty is not provided by government; liberty preexists government. It's our natural birthright, not a gift from the sovereign. Our founders upended things and divided power to enshrine a promise, not a process.

What is freedom? Freedom is the right to choose: the right to create for oneself the alternatives of choice.

I believe that, as Americans, our freedoms come from God and not government, and include the rights enumerated in the Declaration of Independence: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Freedom is never granted; it is won.

Freedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery.
