Popular Fourth of July Quotes

July 2, 2016 by ModernMom Staff Leave a Comment

Fourth of July weekend is upon us. It’s time to celebrate our nation’s birth!  We have collected some of the best Independence Day quotes for you. Read them, share them with friends, and remember what our country was founded upon and how lucky we are to be Americans!

In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved. -Franklin D.Roosevelt

You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism. -Erma Bombeck

Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all! By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall. -John Dickinson

It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you.  -Author unknown

We are free, truly free, when we don’t need to rent our arms to anybody in order to be able to lift a piece of bread to our mouths.  -Ricardo Flores Magon, speech, 31 May 1914

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. -Abraham Lincoln

Those who won our independence believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty.  -Louis D. Brandeis

This, then, is the state of the union:  free and restless, growing and full of hope.  So it was in the beginning.  So it shall always be, while God is willing, and we are strong enough to keep the faith.  -Lyndon B. Johnson

For what avail the plough or sail, or land or life, if freedom fail?  -Ralph Waldo Emerson

That which distinguishes this day from all others is that then both orators and artillerymen shoot blank cartridges.  -John Burroughs

Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.  -Albert Camus
