Adlai E. Stevenson Freedom Quotations

Carelessness about our security is dangerous; carelessness about our freedom is also dangerous

To strike freedom of the mind with the fist of patriotism is an old an ugly subtlety

We have confused the free with the free and easy.

Freedom is not an ideal, it is not even a protection, if it means nothing more than freedom to stagnate, to live without dreams, to have no greater aim than a second car and another television set.

The free press is the mother of all our liberties and of our progress under liberty.

Freedom rings where opinions clash.

The first principle of a free society is an untrammeled flow of words in an open forum.

A hungry man is not a free man.

My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.
