Free Men Quotes (page 2)

James Buchanan quote: "The ballot box is the surest arbiter of disputes among free men."
The ballot box is the surest arbiter of disputes among free men. James Buchanan
And for man to look upon himself as a capital good, even if it did not impair his freedom, may seem to debase him... by investing in themselves, people can enlarge the range of choice available to them. It is one way free men can enhance their welfare. Theodore William Schultz
Georges Bataille quote: "The sovereign being is burdened with a servitude that crushes..."
The sovereign being is burdened with a servitude that crushes him, and the condition of free men is deliberate servility. Georges Bataille
Alfred Jarry quote: "Blind and unwavering undisciplined at all times constitutes..."
Blind and unwavering undisciplined at all times constitutes the real strength of all free men. Alfred Jarry
Men are free when they are obeying some deep, inward voice of religious belief. Obeying from within. Men are free when they belong to a living, organic, believing community, active in fulfilling some unfulfilled, perhaps unrealized purpose. Not when they are escaping to some wild west. The most unfree souls go west, and shout of freedom. David Herbert Lawrence
Men call women faithless, changeable, and though they say it in jealousy of their own ever-threatened sexual honor, there is some truth in it. We can change our life, our being; no matter what our will is, we are changed. As the moon changes yet is one, so we are virgin, wife, mother, grandmother. For all their restlessness, men are who they are; once they put on the man's toga they will not change again; so they make a virtue of that rigidity and resist whatever might soften it and set them... Ursula K. Le Guin
Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin, more even than death. Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habits; thought is anarchic and lawless, indifferent to authority, careless of the well-tried wisdom of the ages. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid ... Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man. Bertrand Russell
Men call you fayre, and you doe credit it, For that your self ye daily such doe see: But the trew fayre, that is the gentle wit, And vertuous mind, is much more praysd of me. For all the rest, how ever fayre it be, Shall turne to nought and loose that glorious hew: But onely that is permanent and free. From frayle corruption, that doth flesh ensew. That is true beautie: that doth argue you. To be divine and borne of heavenly seed: Deriv'd from that fayre Spirit, from whom al true. And perfect... Edmund Spenser
Free women," said Anna, wryly. She added, with an anger new to Molly, so that she earned another quick scrutinizing glance from her friend: "They still define us in terms of relationships with men, even the best of them. Doris Lessing
Mary Barnett Gilson quote: "Men's minds must be free, and that means the minds of all, not..."
Men's minds must be free, and that means the minds of all, not the minds of a select few. Mary Barnett Gilson
Men have looked upon the desert as barren land, the free holding of whoever chose; but in fact each hill and valley in it had a man who was its acknowledged owner and would quickly assert the right of his family or clan to it, against aggression. T. E. Lawrence
Pearl S. Buck quote: "Men would rather be starving and free than fed in bonds."
Men would rather be starving and free than fed in bonds. Pearl S. Buck
Chester A. Arthur quote: "Men may die, but the fabrics of free institutions remains..."
Men may die, but the fabrics of free institutions remains unshaken. Chester A. Arthur
And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last! Martin Luther King jr.
These are the things before me. And as I stand here at the door of glory, I look behind me for the last time. I look upon the history of men, which I have learned from the books, and I wonder. It was a long story, and the spirit which moved it was the spirit of man’s freedom. But what is freedom? Freedom from what? There is nothing to take a man’s freedom away from him, save other men. To be free, a man must be free of his brothers. That is freedom. This and nothing else. Ayn Rand
