Freedom Quotes
-
But what Davenport had been born into had taken so much from her, leaving her with just the wickedest and the worst. Her father had given her life, and then taken every scrap of joy or freedom, and even now that he was dead, all he had left her with was a deep, abiding hatred for what she was.

The young women of today, free to study, to speak, to write, to choose their occupation, should remember that every inch of this freedom was bought for them at a great price.

The debt that each generation owes to the past it must pay to the future.

I testify to you that God's hand has been in our destiny. I testify that freedom as we know it today is being threatened as never before in our history.

Failure's relative. I've always felt, even early on, if I lose the freedom to fail, something's not right about that. It's how you treat failure, too. There's something to learn from it.

A failure because you misunderstood it yourself?
