Freedom Ride

I don’t remember exactly how it goes, just that it sounds something like : they can take away my freedom but never my mind (or whatever?) it’s supposed to be really popular.

does anyone know??? thanks!

The one from the movie Braveheart says,

"They can take our lives but they’ll never take OUR FREEDOM! "

I personally like "I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees."
(Pancho Villa…I think)

   You can take away my freedom, but you can never take away our spirits or our hearts.

   I think thats how it goes….. seems very very familiar, like it was in a movie or a book I read. I have another freedom quote that I think is pretty good…

   Freedom is not something that anybody can be given. Freedom is something people take, and people are as free as they want to be.

   i have always liked ben franklin’s saying, " gentleman, we must stand together, or surely we will all hang separately. "

   It is from Braveheart… Mel Gibson. Here is the whole statement:

   "Aye, fight and you may die, run and you’ll live. At least a while.And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take our freedom?!"

   one of my faves.. ^_^
