Hi everybody! I thought I'd post a few of my favorite freedom based quotes and ask what all of your favorite ones are? -I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious. ~Thomas Jefferson -Independence is my happiness, and I view things as they are, without regard to place or person; my country is the world, and my religion is to do good. ~Thomas Paine To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture. ~Thomas Paine Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. ~Thoreau -Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. ~Einstein
I love to take the words of those who oppose freedom and use them against them; Jefferson's tree is my favorite from the Founders;
When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty. Thomas Jefferson Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth. George Washington Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual. Thomas Jefferson
As you go forth and ban the arms of the patriot, turning us into criminals. I will be honored to carry the banner and be labeled as both. ~ VisuTrac.
The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power. Alexander Hamilton
