Freedom also includes the right to mismanage your own affairs.

True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.

Freedom -- to walk free and own no superior.

We look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way. The third is freedom from want…. The fourth is freedom from fear.

The only conception of freedom I can have is that of the prisoner or the individual in the midst of the State. The only one I know is freedom of thought and action.

No man is free who is not a master of himself.

So far as a person thinks; they are free.

Liberty is slow fruit. It is never cheap; it is made difficult because freedom is the accomplishment and perfectness of man.

The law will never make men free, it is men that have to make the law free.

The Negro needs the white man to free him from his fears. The white man needs the Negro to free him from his guilt.
