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.

I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.

The United States is the only country with a known birthday.

Many politicians are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom.  The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim.

Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all \nBy uniting we stand, by dividing we fall.

We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.

My God!  How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!

How often we fail to realize our good fortune in living in a country where happiness is more than a lack of tragedy.

From every mountain side Let Freedom ring.
