Economic independence is the foundation of the only sort of freedom worth a damn
H. L. Mencken
Image
A good woman must constantly resist alluring and deceptive messages from many sources telling her that she is entitled to more time away from her responsibilities and that she deserves a life of greater ease and independence. But with personal revelation, she can prioritize correctly and navigate this life confidently.
Julie B. Beck
Image
If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions, I should point to India.
Max Muller
Image
The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad, of your safety, of your prosperity, of that very liberty which you so highly prize.
George Washington

Work to me has become kind of a hobby. I was a part of something that gave me financial independence and the rent is paid. Now it's just about projects that turn me on.
Matt LeBlanc

Come with me into the world and reclaim your independence. You stand to gain so much, and riches are the least of it.
Patrick deWitt

Biblical law permits voluntary slavery because it recognizes that some people are not able to maintain a position of independence . . . The law is humane and also unsentimental. It recognizes that some people are by nature slaves and will always be so.
R.J. Rushdoony

Independence is the only gauge of human virtue and value. What a man is and makes of himself not what he has or hasn’t done for others. There is no substitute for personal dignity.
Ayn Rand
Image
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed
Walter E. Williams

The chimney is to some extent an independent structure, standing on the ground, and rising through the house to the heavens evenafter the house is burned it still stands sometimes, and its importance and independence are apparent.
Henry David Thoreau
Image

Rosa Bonheur
Image
Americans who do not celebrate Independence Day: pets.
Demetri Martin
Image
The Declaration of Independence dogmatically bases all rights on the fact that God created all men equal and it is right for if they were not created equal, they were certainly evolved unequal. There is no basis for democracy except in a dogma about the divine origin of man.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Image
A declaration of the independence of America, and the sovereignty of the United STates was drawn by the ingenious and philosophic pen of Thomas Jefferson, Esquire, a delegate from the state of Virginia
Mercy Otis Warren

I'm for economic independence.
Charles Evers
Image
I do not believe the promises of the Declaration of Independence are just for the strong, the independent, the healthy. They are for everyone-including unborn children. We are a society with enough compassion and wealth and love to care for both mothers and their children, to seek the promise and potential in every life.
George W. Bush
Image
The spinning wheel became the symbol of Indian independence. So we always say, if the spinning wheel was the symbol of our first independence, then the seed is the symbol of our second independence.
Vandana Shiva

We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.
Albert Einstein
Image
There are worse places to be than on your own.
Ernest Hemingway

There's something really nice about missing the person you're with. To have someone be apart enough to force independence and to also look forward to seeing that person.
Joe Swanberg
Image
Whenever God touches sin it is independence that is touched, an that awakens resentment in the human heart. Independence must be blasted clean out, there must be no such thing left, only freedom which is very different. Freedom is the ability not to insist on my rights, but to see that God gets his
Oswald Chambers
Image
The strength of even the strongest individual can always be overpowered by the many, who often will combine for no other purpose than to ruin strength precisely because of its peculiar independence.
Hannah Arendt
Image
The last stage but one of every civilisation, is characterised by the forced political unification of its constituent parts, into a single greater whole.
