1)- “If you’re not ready to die for it, put the word ‘freedom’ out of your vocabulary.”
2)- “It is only after slavery and prison that the sweetest appreciation of freedom can come.”
3)- “When a person places the proper value on freedom, there is nothing under the sun that he will not do to acquire that freedom. Whenever you hear a man saying he wants freedom, but in the next breath he is going to tell you what he won’t do to get it, or what he doesn’t believe in doing in order to get it, he doesn’t believe in freedom. A man who believes in freedom will do anything under the sun to acquire…or preserve his freedom.”
4)- “You don’t have to be a man to fight for freedom. All you have to do is to be an intelligent human being.”
5)- “I believe that there will ultimately be a clash between the oppressed and those that do the oppressing. I believe that there will be a clash between those who want freedom, justice and equality for everyone and those who want to continue the systems of exploitation.”
6)- “You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.”
7)- “You get freedom by letting your enemy know that you’ll do anything to get your freedom; then you’ll get it. It’s the only way you’ll get it.”
8)- “Anytime you beg another man to set you free, you’ll never be free! Freedom is something that you have to do for yourself … and until the American let’s know that we are really ready and willing to pay the price that is necessary for freedom, our people will always be walking around here as second-class citizens, or what you call 20th-century slaves … the price of freedom is death!”
9)- “Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you’re a man, you take it.”
10)- “I believe in a religion that believes in freedom. Any time I have to accept a religion that won’t let me fight a battle for my people, I say to hell with that religion.”
