A Quote by Frederick Douglass

Liberty for all; chains for none. — © Frederick Douglass
Liberty for all; chains for none.
The true remedy for most evils is none other than liberty, unlimited and complete liberty, liberty in every field of human endeavor.
Not everyone is willing to embrace liberty; liberty requires not just effort, but risk. Some people choose to delude themselves and see their chains as protective armor.
None deserves liberty who is not ready to give liberty
I prefer liberty to chains of diamonds.
At Genoa, the word Liberty may be read over the front of the prisons and on the chains of the galley-slaves. This application of the device is good and just. It is indeed only malefactors of all estates who prevent the citizen from being free. In the country in which all such men were in the galleys, the most perfect liberty would be enjoyed.
Whether in chains or in laurels, liberty knows nothing but victories.
Liberty has as many chains as an iron-monger's shop, and as rusty.
Whether in chains or in laurels, liberty knows nothing but victories.
Freedom is indivisible; the chains on any one of my people were the chains on all of them, the chains on all of my people were the chains on me.
Anything the government gives you is just another link in the chains that destroy your liberty.
The only chains God wants us to wear are the chains of righteousness--not the chains of hopeless subjectivism, not the shackles of risk-free living, not the fetters of horoscope decision making--just the chains befitting a bond servant of Christ Jesus. Die to self. Live for Christ. And then do what you want, and go where you want, for God's glory.
But of all the views of this law [universal education] none is more important, none more legitimate, than that of rendering the people the safe, as they are the ultimate, guardians of their own liberty.
Whenever a free man is in chains we are threatened also. Whoever is fighting for liberty is defending America.
Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites.
Liberty is the first condition of growth. Your ancestors gave every liberty to the soul, and religion grew. They put the body under every bondage, and society did not grow. The opposite is the case in the West - every liberty to society, none to religion. Now are falling off the shackles from the feet of Eastern society as from those of Western religion.
Listen, when you take my liberty away, you've taken away more-something more precious than life. I mean, what good is a life without liberty? Huh? None.
