“I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.” “Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature.” “They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.” "A general Dissolution of Principles & Manners will more surely overthrow the Liberties of America than the whole Force of the Common Enemy." “The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks.” There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”
It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. “You will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. And all along the way, Liberty’s lantern was their guiding light.įor further inspiration and insight, please read some of the best quotes from our Founding Fathers on liberty, freedom, morality, patriotism, our republic, democracy, Constitutional law, and American Exceptionalism: There are lots of “freedom quotes” on the Internet from all kinds of world leaders, philosophers and theologians, but we firmly believe the freedom quotes from our Founding Fathers are infinitely more powerful – because they succeeded in removing the shackles of tyranny.
They didn’t rebel against England for personal enrichment they rebelled because they truly believed that the loss of freedom was worse than death. It was a remarkable gamble, because most of the Founding Fathers were already wealthy, successful men. Had the American Revolution failed, each of them would have faced execution – and the loss of all their property, which would have condemned their wives and children to a life of poverty. Our Founding Fathers risked everything they had to create a new nation, the United States of America, and that attribute that has come to be known as American Exceptionalism.
