Independence Quotations
You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence.
Abraham Lincoln
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.
Thomas Jefferson
Mickey Mouse is, to me, a symbol of independence. He was a means to an end.
Walt Disney
Injustice in the end produces independence.
Voltaire
True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.
Henry Ford
The Declaration of Independence I always considered as a theatrical show. Jefferson ran away with all the stage effect of that... and all the glory of it.
John Adams
There is no more independence in politics than there is in jail.
Will Rogers
At the bottom of education, at the bottom of politics, even at the bottom of religion, there must be for our race economic independence.
