As you all know, I rarely reblog anything, but this one is one that HAS TO BE shared. Freedom isn’t free. And once it’s gone, it’s gone forever. We have to fight to keep it.
It has a price.
Thought for the Week
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.” ~Desmond Tutu
“None who have always been free can understand the terrible fascinating power of the hope of freedom to those who are not free.” ~Pearl S. Buck
“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Free people, remember this maxim: we may acquire liberty, but it is never recovered if it is once lost.” ~Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“The clash of ideas is the sound of freedom.” ~Lady Bird Johnson
“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” ~Abraham Lincoln
“May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.” ~Peter Marshall
