Freedom is not the right to do as you please;
it is the liberty to do as you ought.
Anon.
Those who deny freedom to others
deserve it not for themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
If the freedom of speech is taken away
then dumb and silent we may be led,
like sheep to the slaughter.
George Washington
Money won't create success,
the freedom to make it will.
Nelson Mandela
The Spirit of God first imparts love,
he next inspires hope,
and then gives liberty;
and that is about the last thing
we have in many of our churches.
Dwight Lyman (D.L.) Moody
Christianity promises to make men free,
it does not promise to make them independent.
William Ralph Inge
He is only advancing in life,
whose heart is getting softer,
his blood warmer,
his brain quicker,
and his spirit entering into living peace.
John Ruskin
The Heart of America
The Immigrant
Neil Sedaka
Harbours open there doors to the young searching foreigner
Come to live in the light of the big L of liberty
Plains and open skies bill boards would advertise
Was it anything like that when you arrived
Dream boats carried the future to the heart of America
People were waiting in line for a place by the river
It was time when strangers were welcome here
Music would play they tell me the days were sweet and clear
It was a sweeter tune and there was so much room
That people could come from everywhere
Now he arrvies with hopes and his heart set on miracles
Come to marry his fortune with a hand full of promises
To find they've closed the door they don't want him anymore
There isn't anymore to go around
Turning away he remembers he once heard a legend
That spoke of a mystical magical land called America
It was time when strangers were welcome here
Music would play they tell me the days were sweet and clear
It was a sweeter tune and there was so much room
That people could come from everywhere
It was time when strangers were welcome here
Music would play they tell me the days were sweet and clear
It was a sweeter tune and there was so much room
That people could come from everywhere
