~FREEDOM & EQUALITY~

"'No man has been able to easily shake off the chains with which he was oppressed.'" ~John Bunyan, The Pilgrim's Progress

"Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters." ~Frederick Douglass

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains or slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take but as for me; give me liberty or give me death!" ~Patrick Henry

"Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains." ~Jean Jaques Rousseau

"Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes." ~Mahatma Gandhi

"If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all." ~Noam Chomsky
