Remember the old saying: "I'd rather be dead than red!"? [/QUOTE]Or how about "Give me liberty or give me death"
--Patrick Henry
Or
"Live free or Die"
-- John Stark
or
"All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom; justice; honor; duty; mercy; hope."
--Sir Winston Churchill
or
"Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious right."
--Mahatma Gandhi
or
"There can be no friendship when there is no freedom; Friendship loves the free air, and will not be fenced up in straight and narrow enclosures."
--William Penn
