Here enjoy some quotes to get you thinking about what Fourth really means. Feel free to reflect on a nugget of wisdom or two, share it as if it’s your own, then drown it in Patron, Amstel Light and smoke-infused beef until you forget you ever read it.* Martin Luther King, Jr.: “Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”
* Abraham Lincoln: “Those who deny freedom to others
deserve it not for themselves.”* Dwight D. Eisenhower: “Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirits of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed–else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.”
* Albert Camus: “Freedom is nothing but the chance to be better.”
* Robert J. McCracken: “We on this continent should never forget that men first crossed the Atlantic not to find soil for their ploughs but to secure liberty for their souls.”
* Thomas Paine: “Those who
expect to reap the blessings of freedom, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.”* James G. Blaine: “ The United States is the only country with a known birthday.”
* Aesop: “Better to starve than be a fat slave.”
* Jimmy Carter: “The best way to enhance freedom in other lands is to demonstrate here that our democratic system is worthy of emulation.”
* Paul Sweeney: “How often we fail to realize our good fortune in living in a country where happiness is more than a lack of tragedy.” [SOURCE]
