Quotes About Freedom

When it comes down to it, freedom is essential to living a great existence. Every single person has the right to have freedom. Freedom of speech and expression. True liberty. All of the days of their life. Unless they violate the laws that are needed to be adhered to in order to sustain that freedom. Which is touched upon a lot in this list of quotes about freedom.

Aside from this, I believe we are all entitled to freedom. And the beautiful part about it is that freedom means so many things to so many people. And it can be enjoyed in ones preferred way by billions of people.

And I hope one day, for EVERY SINGLE PERSON.

To me, freedom means to be able to be yourself, day in and day out. And not be punished for it. To live without mental, physical, emotional and spiritual shackles. And I feel like my rights are being violated in any of those four realms, then I consider it a massive violation to my God given right of freedom.

And of course, I will fight against the source. Because of the fact that I believe that I, like everyone else in the world, is entitled to total and complete freedom.
