Ten Thoughts on Freedom
Freedom is not a gift
no more than food is a gift.
Freedom is a responsibility
as demanding as parenthood.
Freedom lasts only as long
as people will fight to keep it.
Freedom will die when a nation
no longer treats it as priority one.
Freedom’s life blood is a free press.
The peaceful exchange of ideas
is the backbone of freedom.
Choosing to live under the rule of law
is the burden of a free man.
He who chooses structure over struggle
will choose fascism over freedom.
To be able to build your own life
you must first build a foundation of freedom.
The hardest thing society can face
is not fighting a war to save one’s country
it’s fighting to save one’s country
by preventing a war within its society.
