George Henry Boker (1823?1890)
?Freedom!? their battle-cry,?
?Freedom! or leave to die!?

George Gordon Noel Byron, Lord Byron (1788?1824)
For freedom?s battle, once begun,
Bequeath?d by bleeding sire to son,
Though baffled oft, is ever won.

Alfred Austin (1835?1913)
So long as faith with freedom reigns
And loyal hope survives,
And gracious charity remains
To leaven lowly lives;
While there is one untrodden tract
For intellect or will,
And men are free to think and act,
Life is worth living still.

John Quincy Adams (1767?1848)
This hand, to tyrants ever sworn the foe,
For Freedom only deals the deadly blow;
Then sheathes in calm repose the vengeful blade,
For gentle peace in Freedom?s hallowed shade

Abraham Lincoln (1809?1865)
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.


Henrik Ibsen (1828?1906)
One should never put on one?s best trousers to go out in to fight for freedom.

To borrow from reeb.....enough!
