Message:
On this day of our celebration of America’s independence I have some quotes for you that reflect the principles our nation was found on. When I reflect on great American quotes I think of “Give me liberty or give me death” by Patrick Henry or “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country” by John F. Kennedy. But here are five more quotes, not all by Americans, that reflect on America and it’s principles:
True patriotism springs from a belief in the dignity of the individual, freedom and equality not only for Americans but for all people on earth. –Eleanor Roosevelt
1.
Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better. – Albert Camus
1.
In America, nobody says you have to keep the circumstances that somebody else gives you. – Amy Tan.
1.
We are a nation of many nationalities, many races, many religions – bound together by a single unity, the unity of freedom and equality. – Franklin D. Roosevelt
1.
I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom. – Bob Dylan
1.
Patriotism is easy to understand in America. It means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country. – Calvin Coolidge
1.
When thinking of that last quote, I think particularly of our military veterans who have fought to keep our country free. That freedom gives us “the chance to be better” like Camus says. It comes with responsibility as Dylan proclaims. And because of our freedom, as Tan states, we don’t “have to keep the circumstances that somebody else gives” us.
