QUOTES ON LIBERTY AND JUSTICE, TRUTH AND DUTY:
“They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
-Benjamin Franklin
“Patriotism is as much a virtue as justice, and is as necessary for the support of societies as natural affection is for the support of families.” Letter to His Fellow Countrymen, October 20, 1773
-Benjamin Rush
“Hatred of the Jews has changed form but it still remains. If not racial superiority, then religious superiority is the order of the day. The world’s indifference in light of this hatred has also remained. The world has very quickly become accustomed to hearing declarations only 65 years after the Holocaust, declarations of intent to annihilate millions of Jews – and the world continues to act in the same manner. The hesitancy of enlightened countries to act against extreme regimes which threaten us and threaten world peace – this too has not changed. The only thing that has truly changed is our ability and our determination to act to defend ourselves and prevent another Holocaust. This truth is a source of heavy and constant responsibility – to ensure by any means necessary the future and security of the State of Israel against those who seek our destruction. This is the last will and testament of the six million, our brothers and sisters who perished in the Holocaust and it is our duty – and we will carry it out.” Speech at the opening of the permanent exhibition in Block 27 at Auschwitz-Birkenau in June 2013
-Benjamin Netanyahu
“But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.”
-Declaration Of Independence – 1776
“A government resting on the minority is an aristocracy, not a Republic, and could not be safe with a numerical and physical force against it, without a standing army, an enslaved press and a disarmed populace.” Federalist Papers # 46
-James Madison
“There’s no reason someone who has fought for their country should be homeless or jobless.”
-Chris Kyle
“The early Christians rejoiced when they were deemed worthy to suffer for what they believed. In those days the Church was not merely a thermometer that recorded the ideas and principles o popular opinion; it was a thermostat that transformed the mores of society.” Letter from the Birmingham Jail
-Martin Luther King Jr.
“This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.”
-Elmer Davis
“Throughout the day no time for memorandums now. Go ahead! Liberty and independence forever.”
-David Crockett
“Small business is being crushed all across this country by big government. Small business is the engine of economic growth in this country.”
-Carly Fiorina
“If my sinfulness appears to me to be in any way smaller or less detestable in comparison with the sins of others, I am still not recognizing my sinfulness at all. … How can I possibly serve another person in unfeigned humility if I seriously regard his sinfulness as worse than my own?” Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Christian Community
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all.” Letter to Abigail Adams, 1787
–Thomas Jefferson
“The world will see that rebels are the only true patriots and supporters of constitutional liberty.”
-Thomas Rosser
“We know that progress is not inevitable. But neither was victory upon these beaches. Now, as then, the inner voice tells us to stand up and move forward. Now, as then, free people must choose.” In Normandy to mark the 50th anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1994
-Bill Clinton
