I guess if you want freedom you require skirmish.
I think this is a beautiful quote. Too bad the fact that he owned slaves somewhat takes away from the vigour of it but a beautiful quote nonetheless
That is soooo true....how ironic.
reminds me of the movie 'braveheart': Freeeeeeeeeedoooooooom...
@davidp i agree :)
Sure, we need real freedom! Freedom is the very important for people including me :D
Amen to that!
Freedom is worth fighting for
I prefer (dangerous) freedom over (peaceful) slavery.
peaceful slavery?a slave is a slave!
I think it's more figurative, as in "a slave to a system". As opposed to being in actual chains.
Awesome quote sir and you are right freedom in every condition is good over slavery.
Really good words of this quote
Death is better than slavery
Beautiful Quote this is very true !!
Art, freedom and creativity will change society faster than politics.
Those are wise word's
freedom is more good even though it might be dangerous
Peaceful slavery is not a good idea you should be free from all perspective.

People often confuse one with another.
Alas, many are afraid of freedom much more ...
