independence

"nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide."

- napoleon bonaparte

"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."

- dwight d. eisenhower

"those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves."

- abraham lincoln

"there are two freedoms - the false, where a man is free to do what he likes; the true, where he is free to do what he ought."

- charles kingsley

"freedom is the oxygen of the soul."

- moshe dayan

happy independence day!
