"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." - Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776 (Read full text)
Happy Independence Day, America!
The freedom to decide your destiny is a precious and a divine right. It should be cherished, respected, celebrated and protected, today and everyday. This Independence Day, I am choosing like our country's forefathers to have hope for a life of limitless possibilities, goodness and abundant blessings.
As you celebrate America's independence, what does freedom mean to you?
Here are a few thoughts on freedom to inspire...
Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. –Martin Luther King, Jr.
To be conformed is imprisonment and slavery. To be transformed is to be emancipated, liberated! –Mark Chironna
There is no such thing as slow freedom. Til we are fully free we are all slaves. –Gandhi
...where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. –2 Corinthians 3:17
But what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the
greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness,
without tuition or restraint. –Edmund Burke
