Happy 4th of July!
On this day of Independence, here are a few quotes to keep in mind as we celebrate our freedom while still fighting for the freedom of others.
“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”
—Nelson Mandela
“I ask no favor for my sex. All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks.”
—Ruth Bader Ginsberg
“Those who deny freedom for others deserve it not for themselves”.
—Abraham Lincoln
“A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.”
— Jim Morrison
Have a great holiday!
