- Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit 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. ~Dwight D. Eisenhower
- You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism. ~Erma Bombeck
- It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you. ~Dick Cheney
- Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation. ~Ronald Reagan
- America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. ~Abraham Lincoln
- If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter. ~Washington
- This country will not be a good place for any of us to live in unless we make it a good place for all of us to live in. ~Theodore Roosevelt
- Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it. ~Mark Twain
- We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools. ~Martin Luther King Jr.
- We dare not forget that we are the heirs of that first revolution.~John F. Kennedy
