Some Famous 4th of July Quotes and Their Meanings

“Freedom is never given, it is won.”

You read it right. America is free not because they were set free by England, but because they had to fight for it! There is nothing free on this world. You need to fight for everything you want to have, sometimes it’s even a bloody fight.

“Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people”

Well, this is not true anymore unless you come as a very special person with a lot of education, a lot of age, talent, history and so on… but it’s still a government from the people, anyone can try to be the president.

“Liberty is the right to choose. Freedom is the result of the right choice.”

In life you will have to make more choices than you can imagine. for example you can choose to read this text, or you can choose to click on X right now. It’s your choices that will make the person you are.

“The greatest lesson we can learn from the past. . . is that freedom is at the core of every successful nation in the world.”

A truth well worth remembering. The most advanced countries in the world are the ones with the most freedom. do you want a better example? Look at third world countries and tell which are Democratic, none is actually.

“Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.”

America could have a King or a Dictator to be more secure in terms of government but the truth is the more freedom you give away, the less secure you are actually. Any true mighty and powerful nation is built around freedom before anything. No freedom, nothing else too.
