“Take a moment to think about
the significance of sacrificing a life
so that we might enjoy freedom.”
“In the future days,
which we seek to make secure,
we look forward to a world founded upon
four essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech and expression–
everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God
in his own way–everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want
–which, translated into world terms,
means economic understandings which will secure
to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants
-everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear
–which, translated into world terms,
means a world-wide reduction of armaments
to such a point and in such a thorough fashion
that no nation will be in a position to commit
an act of physical aggression against any neighbor
–anywhere in the world.”
~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
“Freedom means
the supremacy of human rights everywhere.
Our support goes to those who struggle
to gain those rights or keep them.
Our strength is our unity of purpose.
To that high concept
there can be no end save victory.”
~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
“When all Americans are treated as equal,
no matter who they are or whom they love,
we are all more free.”
~ Barack Obama
“For to be free
is not merely to cast off one’s chains,
but to live in a way
that respects and enhances
the freedom of others.”
~ Nelson Mandela
