Here are some 4th of July quotes, to wish you a Happy Independence Day, some bits of wisdom about what patriotism and independence truly mean.
On 4th of July 2010 we celebrate Independence Day, the Day we commemorate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.
The United States is the only country with a known birthday. (James G. Blaine)
This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave. (Elmer Davis)
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. (Abraham Lincoln)
We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it. (William Faulkner)
It is the love of country that has lighted and that keeps glowing the holy fire of patriotism. (J. Horace McFarland)
America is a tune. It must be sung together. (Gerald Stanley Lee)
The winds that blow through the wide sky in these mounts, the winds that sweep from Canada to Mexico, from the Pacific to the Atlantic – have always blown on free men. (Franklin D. Roosevelt)
Where liberty dwells, there is my country. (Benjamin Franklin)
Sometimes people call me an idealist. Well, that is the way I know I am an American. America is the only idealistic nation in the world. (Woodrow Wilson)
July 4, 1776 was the day Colonial people seperated themselves from a tyrant King of Great Britian and thus began a new experiment in the forming of a Repbulic with limited democratic powers.
July 4, 2110 should be the day that American citizens issue a new Declaraton of Independence from a government that is becoming increasingly tyrannical toward its citizens. We should delcare ourselves seperate from a government that has no moral or ethical limits in its ability to place us under a yoke of Taxes that cannot be sustained. An undisciplined government that does not hold in check its spending is a government that will subject its citizens to dispare and “serfdom” by any means within or outside its powers to maintain the status quo and for the self preservation of the corruption, which abounds within its halls of congress.
