Securing freedom has been a singular commitment of American presidents and patriots in and out of government for generations. But its perpetual continuation is not guaranteed.
— George Nethercutt
In the very early days of Wham! the attention felt great, but I do wonder how much freedom I gave away by trying to become something I wasn't.
— George Michael
Part of science is the questioning of authority, absolute freedom of ideology. The Soviets did some very good science, but when science ran into ideology, it had trouble. Science flourishes best in a democracy.
— George M. Whitesides
I love the pigeons. I just raise them, period, and feed them. Pigeons go away, and they always come back. You get a touch of freedom, and then they are free to come back to you. I love the idea of pigeons.
— George Foreman
Well, since I produce and pay for my own albums, it is the ultimate freedom.
— George Duke
I do think that the elections of 2010 and 2012 are going to determine the trajectory of the country. Either we're going to be aspiring and improving opportunities based on freedom and responsibility, or we're going to go down the path that dictates and mandates a dependency on government.
— George Allen
Into every soul, however purged and fenced, evil appears to have as much freedom of entrance as God Himself.
— George A. Smith
The statue of Freedom has not been cast yet, the furnace is hot, we can all still burn our fingers.
— Georg Buchner
I joined the Labour party because I believed in equality, in freedom of speech and in tolerance, compassion and understanding for people, irrespective of their background and views. In whatever I decide to do in the future I will hold to those principles.
— Geoff Hoon
I want to work with non-profits that stimulate growth to the community. Whether it is economic growth, intellectual, or freedom.
— Gbenga Akinnagbe
Trump personifies this sort of freedom to get back to: not literally making America great again but making America proud of its greatness again.
— Gavin McInnes
I'm so proud of my Chinese ancestry, but I was born and raised in America, and I really believe in American values, our American system, our freedom, our liberties.
— Gary Locke
We need to understand the difference between freedom of religion - which is absolutely guaranteed and I would fervently defend. Sharia law is politics; it's not religion. If you say that a woman is voluntarily going to be of lesser value than a man, which is in sharia law, can we allow that?
— Gary Johnson
I just see religious freedom, as a category, as just being a black hole.
I believe that our teachers need more freedom to be creative in the classroom in order to maximize the time students spend learning, not the time they spend taking tests.
— Gary Herbert
Citizens standing up for equality and freedom can never be equated with white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and the KKK.
— Gary Cohn
From the U.S. Capitol Building to the White House, our national symbols that represent freedom to so many of us, were built by people who were anything but free.
— Gary Ackerman
We are often told that curtailing the freedom of business is coercive and undemocratic. But by what democratic principle should corporations and billionaires decide the fate of current and future generations? When a government releases them from regulation, it allows them to determine whether other people live or die.
— George Monbiot
The man or country that fights priestcraft and priests is to my mind striking deeper for freedom than can be struck anywhere.
— George Meredith
We know what works. Freedom Works. We know what's right. Freedom is right.
— George H. W. Bush
The intense happiness of our union is derived in a high degree from the perfect freedom with which we each follow and declare our own impressions.
— George Eliot
Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they?
— George Carlin
The people of America need personal responsibility and freedom, not dependency on the government.
The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.
— Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The breath of an aristocrat is the death rattle of freedom.
I'm super comfortable with TV, especially in my situation where I pretty much have 100% freedom. That's the ideal, and I've been fortunate in TV to have pretty much everything I've done be at least somewhat successful.
— Genndy Tartakovsky
This isn't a racist, sexist, homophobic hellhole. It's the greatest country on earth. The West got this way with a whole lot of risk-taking, freedom, faith, families, and fatherhood. I'm not just going to sit by while the establishment media attacks those cornerstone values.
There's men and women who sacrifice and do so much for us so I can go out and play a game of golf and live my life under freedom.
— Gary Woodland
I believe we can, and must, strike a balance between our shared American values of religious liberty and freedom from discrimination. My concerns lie with the possible consequences of politically-driven legislation which claims to promote religious liberty but instead rolls back the legal protections held by LGBT Americans.
I had my freedom, and I had my comfortable life, but I couldn't accept the fact that the politicians were making it increasingly difficult for my kids and millions of others to achieve their dreams as I had achieved mine. So, in 2012, I ran for president.
Every time you pass a law, it is a little bite out of freedom.
One person's rights do not have to come at the expense of another's. If we can find common ground on religious freedom and LGBT issues in Utah - one of the nation's most religious and conservative states - we can do it anywhere in the country.
Certainly one of the more common experiences in the jazz field is discovering someone new. Improvising musicians are capable of being musical travelers, voyagers. We want to join in on whatever we hear. There is a freedom to wander the musical landscape.
— Gary Burton
If a jerk burns the flag, America is not threatened, democracy is not under siege, freedom is not at risk.
History shows that attacks on general freedoms often begin with an attack on the freedom of a minority. It teaches us that we should never allow a government to divide and rule. An attack on one is an attack on all.
I've come to realize that protecting freedom of choice in our everyday lives is essential to maintaining a healthy civil society.
— George McGovern
A new breeze is blowing, and a world refreshed by freedom seems reborn; for in man's heart, if not in fact, the day of the dictator is over. The totalitarian era is passing, its old ideas blown away like leaves from an ancient, lifeless tree.
Aesthetic freedom is like free speech; it is, indeed, a form of free speech.
— George Edward Woodberry
Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.
— George Bernard Shaw
We should favor innovation and freedom over regulation.
The essence of mathematics lies in its freedom.
— Georg Cantor
Some of the press who speak loudly about the freedom of the press are themselves the enemies of freedom. Countless people dare not say a thing because they know it will be picked up and made a song of by the press. That limits freedom.
— Geoffrey Fisher
We have to allow ourselves the freedom to make mistakes, including cultural mistakes, in our first drafts. I believe it's okay to get cultural details wrong in your first draft. It's okay if stereotypes emerge. It just means that your experience is limited, that you're human.
— Gene Luen Yang
When I was a rebellious teenager, I wanted minimum government and maximum freedom, which is really just maximum fun. Somewhere down the road, that went from being a liberal thing to being a conservative thing.
History is full of examples of people who clamp down after they began to enjoy too much freedom. Freedom can lead to instability, anarchy, and confusion. So there can be a moral counter-revolution.
— Gary Ross
Given the divisiveness and pain that have accompanied several state religious freedom laws, I approach attempts at legislating religious exceptions to anti-discrimination laws with great sensitivity and care.
I have had the good fortune to be able to climb the highest mountain on each of the seven continents. I have enjoyed the freedom I had gained from building a successful business from scratch, making some money, and creating the lifestyle I wanted.
We have the highest incarceration rate of any country in the world. 'America, land of liberty and freedom?' You know, that's baloney. More than 2 million Americans are behind bars now. Communist China has four times the population and they have 1.5 million people behind bars.
To create an organization that's adaptable and innovative, people need the freedom to challenge precedent, to 'waste' time, to go outside of channels, to experiment, to take risks and to follow their passions.
— Gary Hamel
Republican values - strong families, faith, personal responsibility and freedom, among others - are not unique to specific subsets of the electorate. They are universal values, and it is Republicans' job to remind Americans of that fact.
— Gary Bauer
