Freedom does not mean doing what you can get away with, doing what you please. It means, instead, having the opportunity to do what you ought to do--for family, and for community, and for humanity as a whole.

More quotes by Alan Keyes
Anything the government gives you is just another link in the chains that destroy your liberty.
Alan Keyes
Rights don't come from human documents. The very idea is only worthy of contempt. Human documents are nothing but pieces of paper, they are nothing but words--until by will, and conscience, and courage, and commitment, human beings turn them into reality.
Alan Keyes
Obama is a radical communist and I think it is becoming clear. That is what I told people in Illinois and now everybody realizes it is coming true. He is going to destroy this country and we are either going to stop him or the United States of America is going to cease to exist.
Alan Keyes
Selfish hedonism is not a pejorative. It is a description - an exactly accurate description of what is involved in homosexual relations.
Alan Keyes
I personally do not owe the debt that was owed by the campaign.
Alan Keyes
Family life is the normal context in which we can learn that a life filled with thinking about others instead of ourselves is the sure road to the most fulfilling joys and satisfactions.
Alan Keyes
The First Amendment isn't about free thought and free opinion and free belief. The First Amendment is about free exercise: the carrying into practice of religious principles and beliefs and convictions.
Alan Keyes
A nation of character is filled with citizens who gradually build lives based on the living awareness that their deeds are judged by eyes of unchanging truth, by a will that is the real measure of what is right, and therefore of what is good.
Alan Keyes
It's in the private places of the heart that freedom is made or unmade by the discipline we create there.
Alan Keyes
That money was for working eight to twelve hour days ... it was not a welfare check.
Alan Keyes
Our success or failure is not in the hands of our leaders. It is in our.
Alan Keyes
The question isn't whether you have a good master or a bad master, it's to be your own master. That is the dignity of humanity.
Alan Keyes
The Declaration of Independence summarizes the civic principles of American life. It agrees with this biblical perspective when it affirms that we are all created equal and endowed by the Creator, God, with our unalienable rights.
Alan Keyes
[T]he great American statesman devotes his energy, ability, and wisdom to conforming himself and this people to the moral principles that gave this nation birth, are older than anything else in the country's soul, and yet retain the power to make us young again with the vigor of virtue and the zeal for justice.
Alan Keyes
The Assault Weapons Ban deals with a fictional distinction. You have guns that are exactly the same guns as are banned, in function, that were banned because of the way they look. And you know, that's the whole truth of this policy: it's to make politicians look as if they are doing something, when in point of fact, they are doing nothing.
Alan Keyes
In this respect, granting homosexuals the right to marry is like granting plantation owners the right to own slaves.
Alan Keyes
It is not for us to calculate our victory or fear our defeat, but to do our duty and leave the rest in God's hands.
Alan Keyes
There's not a single thing on offer in this all-too-temporary world for which you should ever sell your soul.
Alan Keyes
There can be no self-government without self-discipline. There can be no self-government without self-control. There can be no liberty unless it is grounded in moral discipline and the ability to do what is right.
Alan Keyes
We stand on no high moral plateau in our time. We are, in fact, plumbing depths of depravity unknown to our ancestors--and whatever may have been the evil in which they engaged, at least they were willing to acknowledge the principle by which their evil was condemned. We have even turned our back on the principle.
Alan Keyes
