Freedom Ride

I read this quote and it haunts me, but I don’t quite get what it means.
I’d appreciate some feedback.

I think it means we are bound by our pre-misconceptions of things, like we are help back by our prejudice of others.

Or a deeper meaning would be a reference to enlightenment that we need to let go of our senses to become free spirited…

I dunno my question is about enlightenment so maybe I just have it on the mind!

Hope I helped…

Hi,Casey

im looking to get a tattoo of a bird &would very much like a freedom quote to go with it, something short and sweet.. so if anyone knows of any it would be very much appreciated:D x

"He who is brave, is free."

"Freedom lies in being bold."

"All good things are wild, and free."

"No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky."

that’s all i got.

I need a quote from any philosopher like samuel adams, rousseau, aristotele, locke, hobbes or any other who have a quote of equality between common good and freedom and rights of the individual.

"I’m too drunk to taste this chicken" – Colonel Sanders, no but seriously
Declaration of Independence-
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Which President said: I would rather be attendant to the inconvenience of too great a degree of freedom thereof

The quotation to which you refer (i.e., “I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.”) was written by Thomas Jefferson 10 years before he became President.

He wrote it in 1791, while serving as the first Secretary of State under President George Washington, in a colloquy with Archibald Stuart about the meaning of "The Right to Life and Liberty" as found in "The Declaration of Independence."

[Archibald Stuart (1757-1832) was a lawyer and judge. He read law under Thomas Jefferson.]

"This sweltering summer of Negro’s legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality"
Sorry the words in **** is "n e g r o e s". I mean no offense to anyone.

That’s a quote from the 20th century civil rights leader Martin Luther King, not the 16th century Reformationist leader Martin Luther.

The "sweltering summer of Negroes legitimate discontent" is a metaphor for the simmering anger induced by racial discrimination, while the "invigorating autumn of freedom and equality" is a parallel metaphor, recalling and contrasting the first metaphor of a "sweltering summer," and emphasizing the relief and pleasant result to be anticipated as a result of the reversal of attitudes and laws that propped up segregation and racial discrimination.

The cartoon has to be in the 1770’s time period with king george or colonists. The quote is "Freedom is not taxable". Cartoon has to be insulting the british taxes and unfair decisions. It is for a school project.
Please help! Thanks!

Okay, work with me on this one. Put Obama back into the 1770’s wearing a british crown. He’s looking really pissed because one of his advisers had spoken that quote to him.

"I want to write his story so others will know his death was not in vain." Anonymous Freedom Writer, Chapter 6 page 150.

For me, since I’ve seen the movie and read the book, this quote means that this boy died, but they wanted to write down his story to show that even though he didn’t do anything of great consequence, his life mattered, and so did its ending. He was a person, and his story was a piece of the world.

Hint – it did not originate from a movie. Thanks for who ever can help me out.

It’s considered anonymous.

A good example of the idea is the American revolution. George Washington and the others were properly considered terrorists by the British, while they considered themselves freedom fighters.

Generally speaking if you win, you are a freedom fighter, while if you lose you are a terrorist. As Winston Churchill said, "History is written by the victors."

"you’re not responsible for their lives outsides of that classroom, you gotta remember, this is just a job."

A real teacher doesn’t think it’s just a job… it is a profession and a calling to a dedicated teacher. Their job isn’t over when school ends…they are grooming minds and must be aware of what goes on outside the classroom.And have a rough idea of how to handle it.
