My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!
Freedom is the open window through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and human dignity.
We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.
Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed - else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.
