Let Freedom Ring

“America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens.” —George W. Bush

“For everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labour in freedom.” —Albert Einstein

“You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.” —Malcolm X

“Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” —John F. Kennedy

“We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.” —Willaim Faulkner

“Can’t we all just get along?” —Rodney King

People make jokes about Rodney King’s famous words, but those were wise words. The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—I truly believe that’s what this country is all about. Let’s make that a reality. 

Takeaway Truth

I think we should do that—respect each other, recognize that we all have the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happines, and get along with each other. Happy Independence Day.
