Thoughts While Waiting For Independence Day
He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even
his enemy from opposition; for if he violates this duty he
establishes a precedent that will reach himself. Thomas
Paine
This nation will remain the land of the free only so long
as it is the home of the brave.
Elmer Davis
The American Revolution was a beginning, not a
consummation. Woodrow Wilson
Liberty is always dangerous, but it is the safest thing
we have. Harry Emerson Fosdick
Let freedom never perish in your hands. Joseph Addison
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
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

achieved.

restless, growing and full of hope. So it was in the
beginning. So it shall always be, while God is willing, and
we are strong enough to keep the faith. Lyndon B. Johnson
That which distinguishes this day from all others is that
then both orators and artillerymen shoot blank cartridges. John
Burroughs
Those who won our independence believed liberty to be the
secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty.
Louis D. Brandeis
Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better. Albert
Camus

government, and human equality. Adlai Stevenson
May the sun in his course visit no land more free, more

themselves. Abraham Lincoln
