Freedom Ride

what does that quote mean? help please

what i understand by this quote is:

Education gives us all the knowledge.It’s a key through which we can rule the world.If we are educated, then where ever we go , or whatever we do, we can do it with much confidence and exactness. If we aren’t educated, we may be hesitant 2 do or we may not able 2 do things.An educated man enjoys freedom.He can prove his talent through various fields.Thus education is the key which paves us through the doors of freedom.

This is what I consider.

I asked, "How many of you have heard of the holocaust?" Not a single person raised his hand. Then i asked, "How many people have been shot at?" Nearly evey hand went up.

It means they were not knowledgable about the holocaust, but they had been fired at by a gun at some point.

Other than the actual words "freedom" or "breaking away"? )

Spreading you wings

This quote attributed to Ben Franklin is used so often by those who condemn the US anti-terror efforts.

I see the meaning as very different. I believe it means those of us not willing to take a stand and fight, with risk of death, our oppressors our enemy are trading freedom for security.

What do you think?
kevw25 I know so pick one and answer the question.

Many paraphrased variants derived from this saying have arisen and have usually been incorrectly attributed to Franklin:
"They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
"Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither"
"He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security"
"He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither"
"People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both."
"If we restrict liberty to attain security we will lose them both."
"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."
"He who gives up freedom for safety deserves neither"

Well the quote refers to "essential liberty." To this I must ask what "essential liberties" have been sacrificed in the name of security?

The right to not have your phone conversation listened to is not an essential liberty.

Really, what essential liberties have been infringed?

What ever happened to the social contract? You can’t get security, or really government at all, without giving up SOME small liberties.

George Orwell, 1984

I don’t think the quote stands alone very well without the overall context of the story. Clearly, in 1984, this quote reinforces the idea that one must blindly follow the party and "love big brother." War is the status-quo for Oceania, the citizens should find that strictly following the party is a freeing experience (a form of ultimate surrender, if you will), and ignorance is definitely a strength for the characters under this fictional regime (not knowing/acknowledging subversive activities and thoughts makes it less possible to commit a "thought crime."

Just my thoughts, anyway.

I believe the quote goes as follows… ‘ If you want to rule the whole world does it follow that everyone else embraces slavery?
To wholly slaughter, plunder they give the lying name; Freedom.
They make a wilderness and call it Freedom.
I SEEK IT’S MOST ORIGINAL FORM OR SOURCE. THANKS

Regarding the third of the quotations, the original, in Latin, of course, was:

"Ubi solitudenem faciunt, pacem appelant."

In Latin word order, that would be, "Where a state of desolation they make, peace they call it."

The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations provides the Latin and translates it as "Where they make a wilderness, they call it peace."

Bartlett’s prefers "Where they make a desert, they call it peace" and does not give the Latin.

The quotation is from Tacitus, "Agricola," sec. 30.

Need quotes and song lyrics about freedom for a project You can send me a link as an answer also and if the link has good stuff you’ll get best answer. Thanks!

that song by that guy, something inside so strong.
i want to break free by queen
i know why the caged bird sings by maya angelou

Could someone offer their interpretation of this quote.

‘Freedom without Socialism is privilege and injustice, but socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality’
Thanks for both of your Contributions, both have been interesting but unfortunately neither actually answered the question.

i agree with you.

I am not sure if this is the exact quote but I need the source of the quote and the exact wording.

I too have been unable to find the quote you cited, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t correct. It is a noteworthy and powerful statement.

I’ve searched extensively for quotes with various combinations of the words: march, battle, songs, freedom, lips and invincible, but with practically no success.

I did find one section in `The Jesuits’ containing the phrase "with songs of freedom on their lips."

Any other clues or possible wording differences?
