The Freedom – Happy Independence Day America

4th of July and famous quotes on Freedom

Freedom is a natural desire. Freedom is an emotion; it is a natural expression of a living being to be unrestrained, to make its own path, to choose at its own destiny. Animals or human – freedom is an expected lifestyle; anything short of freedom is a compromise that no one wants to make.

On 4th of July in 1776, America became a free nation, a free country. On this day today, on 4th of July, America celebrates the Independence Day. The country marks this holiday with parades, picnics, backyard barbecues and fireworks.

The following quotes highlight the emotion of freedom and its importance for any nation and for every living creature.

“Life without liberty is like a body without spirit.” ~ Kahlil Gibran

“Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?”
~ Mohandas Gandhi

“Free at last; free at last; thank God Almighty we are free at last.” ~ Martin Luther King

“The patriot’s blood is the seed of Freedom’s tree.” ~Thomas Campbell

“Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.” ~Napoleon Bonaparte

“Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people” ~ Abraham Lincoln

Long live Freedom, long live the Earth!

“We look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way. The third is freedom from want…. The fourth is freedom from fear.”  Franklin D. Roosevelt

America is celebrating its Independence Day today. The day honors the birthday of the United States of America and the signing of the ‘Declaration of Independence’ on July 4, 1776.

For any nation, Independence Day is the day to be proud of their past, to salute those who struggled and sacrificed for independence. It is a day to remember the importance of freedom. Thanks to our ancestors all over the world in different countries, we have the freedom to pursue our goals and dreams. We have the freedom to express our opinion, the freedom to decide what is good for us and our family.

Equally important, it is also a time to remember this: while we live a free life dictated by our own will, we also have responsibilities as the free citizens of the globe. We owe it to those who sacrificed everything for freedom; we also owe it to the future generation who will tread this planet after we are long gone.

Franklin D. Roosevelt envisioned a freedom from fear. Let us do our share in minimizing the fear of uncertain tomorrow by making this planet a better place to live for a long-long time. While we guard our dear freedom, let us also guard our future and the future of our kids by being responsible and caring inhabitants of this earth. We can do our share towards keeping this planet safe by reducing pollution and by eliminating waste. Let us educate ourselves and everybody around us to improve the environment, and to minimize the impacts of climate change.
