Celebrate Freedom

In the United States, we celebrate our Independence Day on the 4th of July. We realize that many of our partners come from over 106 countries and many of you are not celebrating your independence today. With that in mind, I want to share with you a few of my favorite quotes and ideas that tie into the concept of liberty, freedom and equality; ideals that we all share. Wishing you a Happy Independence Day wherever you are! QUOTES ON LIBERTY, FREEDOM and EQUALITY 1) The secret of happiness is freedom, and the secret of freedom, courage. – Thucydides 2) Freedom is the last, best hope of earth. – Abraham Lincoln 3) Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties. -John Milton 4) By liberty I mean the assurance that every man shall be protected in doing what he believes is his duty against the influence of authority and majorities, custom and opinion. – Lord Acton 5) Liberty cannot be caged into a charter or handed on ready-made to the next generation. Each generation must recreate liberty for its own times. Whether or not we establish freedom rests with ourselves. -- Florence Ellinwood Allen 6) Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. – Abraham Lincoln 7) God grant that not only the love of liberty but a thorough knowledge of the rights of man pervade all the nations of the earth, so that a philosopher 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." – Benjamin Franklin
