Independent Living Quotes (page 2)

I congratulate you and my country on the singular favor of heaven in the peaceable and auspicious settlement of our government upon a Constitution formed by wisdom, and sanctified by the solemn choice of the people who are to live under it. May the Supreme ruler of the world be pleased to establish and perpetuate these new foundations of liberty and glory....Thank God, my country is saved and by the smile of Heaven I am a free and independant man. John Hancock
I am increasingly persuaded that the earth belongs exclusively to the living and that one generation has no more right to bind another to it's laws and judgments than one independent nation has the right to command another. Thomas Jefferson
No, I'm not religious, I'm sorry to say. But I was once and shall be again. There is no time now to be religious."No time. Does it need time to be religious?"Oh, yes. To be religious you must have time and, even more, independence of time. You can't be religious in earnest and at the same time live in actual things and still take them seriously, time and money and the Odon Bar and all that. Herman Hesse
By today’s standards King George III was a very mild tyrant indeed. He taxed his American colonists at a rate of only pennies per annum. His actual impact on their personal lives was trivial.

Today everybody is talking about the fact that we live in one world; because of globalization, we are all part of the same planet. They talk that way, but do they mean it? We should remind them that the words of the Declaration [of Independence] apply not only to people in this country, but also to people all over the world. People everywhere have the same right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. When the government becomes destructive of that, then it is patriotic to dissent and... Howard Zinn
Shoot, I must have lived such a doggoned sheltered life as a normal, independent American up there in the Last Frontier, schooled with only public education and a lowly state university degree, because obviously I haven't learned enough to dismiss common sense. Sarah Palin
Ah, monsieur, to live in the bosom of the sea! Only there can independence be found! There I recognize no master! There I am free! Jules Verne
I myself have been on my own and utterly independent since I graduated. I haven't belonged to any company or any system. It isn't easy to live like this in Japan. Haruki Murakami
So most of my acting experience came in college when I was living away from them. I acted in various independent films, and I got some commercial work and stuff like that. Maria Menounos
Salma Hayek quote: "I work hard, I make my own living and I love it. I like having..."
I work hard, I make my own living and I love it. I like having financial independence. Salma Hayek
I find its attention to living this life rather than the next one exhilarating because I think even independently of Judaism that that's the right way to go about life. Janet Suzman
I think it's a lovely idea, but it will not pass the Congress. I live in a world of realities. The policy of our country is that we can drill our way to independence. I think that's a march to folly. Anna Eshoo
My parents had us very young. We lived in a modest house. We built forts, we hiked, we went camping and they wanted us to be independent. It's how children grew up in the 1940s and 50s: outside all the time, playing in the dirt, riding your bike around. Brooklyn Decker
Karen Hughes quote: "Now, I am completely independent - I earn my living by..."
Now, I am completely independent - I earn my living by speaking and writing. Karen Hughes
