Governments which have a regard to the common interest are constituted in accordance with strict principles of justice, and are therefore true forms but those which regard only the interest of the rulers are all defective and perverted forms, for they are despotic, whereas a state is a community of freemen.
Aristotle
Image
I believe in human liberty as I believe in the wine of life. There is no salvation for men in the pitiful condescension of industrial masters. Guardians have no place in a land of freemen.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
It appears, accordingly, from the experience of all ages and nations, I believe, that the work done by freemen comes cheaper in the end than that performed by slaves.
Adam Smith
Image
Towering genius...thirsts and burns for distinction and, if possible, it will have it, whether at the expense of emancipating slaves or enslaving freeman.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It was great. I got to hang out with him [Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins], and I kept a straight face for a bit and then I started giggling because I know Martin, I don't know Bilbo. For Martin to be sitting there playing Bilbo is amazing. He's going to be amazing, he's going to be fantastic in this film.

My mind is pretty made up that life for Cathy Freeman will be as an unmarried woman from now on.

Individuality is the aim of political liberty. By leaving to the citizen as much freedom of action and of being as comports with order and the rights of others, the institutions render him truly a freeman. He is left to pursue his means of happiness in his own manner.

Josh Freeman will be an MVP candidate.

Mr. Freeman: You are getting better at this, but it's not good enough. This looks like a tree,but it is an average, ordinary, everyday, boring tree. Breathe life into it. Make it bend - trees are flexible, so they don't snap. Scar it, give it a twisted branch - perfect trees don't exist. Nothing is perfect. Flaws are interesting. Be the tree.

In 1994, nobody could have predicted 'Shawshank' would one day be an iconic movie - and believe me, that would never have happened if Danny Glover had been Red instead of Morgan Freeman.
Bill Simmons
Image
The flag of our stately battles, not struggles of wrath and greed, Its stripes were a holy lesson, its spangles a deathless creed: 'T was red with the blood of freemen and white with the fear of the foe And the stars that fight in their courses 'gainst tyrants its symbols know.
Julia Ward Howe
Image
Service cannot be expected from a friend in service let him be a freeman who wishes to be my master.
Martial
Image
Man minus the Machine is a slave Man plus the Machine is a freeman.
Henry Ford
Image
For freemen like brothers agree With one spirit endured, they one friendship pursued, And their temple was Liberty Tree
Thomas Paine
Image
To freemen, threats are impotent. [Lat., Nulla enim minantis auctoritas apud liberos est.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
The tenets of [the Christian life] seem paradoxes to carnal men as first, that a Christian is the only freeman, and other men are slaves that he is the only rich man, though never so poor in the world that he is the only beautiful man, though outwardly never so deformed that he is the only happy man in the midst of all his miseries.

Half genius and half buffoon, Freeman Dyson ... wrote. ... [Richard] Feynman struck him as uproariously American-unbuttoned and burning with physical energy. It took him a while to realize how obsessively his new friend was tunneling into the very bedrock of modern science.
James Gleick
Image
Antipater uses us favourably if he looks upon us as staves, but very hardly if he considers us as freemen.
Xenocrates
Image
All men agree that a just distribution must be according to merit in some sense they do not all specify the same sort of merit, but democrats identify it with freemen, supporters of oligarchy with wealth (or noble birth), and supporters of aristocracy with excellence.
Aristotle
Image
The other classes of which society was composed were, first, freemen, owners of small portions of land, independent, though they sometimes voluntarily became the vassals of their more opulent neighbors, whose power was necessary for their protection.
Thomas Bulfinch
Image
The commerce of a free people is many times more valuable than that of slaves. Freemen produce and consume vastly more than slaves. They have therefore more to buy and more to sell. Hence the free states have a direct pecuniary interest in the civil freedom of all the other states. Commerce between free and slave states is not reciprocal or equal.

A favorite cast? Lisa Kudrow, Anthony Hopkins, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, and my wife.
William H. Macy
Image
No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
I rejoice in a belief that intellectual light will spring up in the dark corners of the earth that freedom of enquiry will produce liberality of conduct that mankind will reverse the absurd position that the many were, made for the few and that they will not continue slaves in one part of the globe, when they can become freemen in another.
