US: Liberty Bell Day (1835)
Yes there's a lady that stands in a harbor for what we believe.
And there's a bell that still echoes the price that it cost to be free
Aaron Tippen
The original Liberty Bell announced the creation of democracy;
the Women's Liberty Bell will announce the completion of democracy
Katherine Ruschenberger
Let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.
Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.
Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!
Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California!
But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!
Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi.
From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, when we let freedom ring, when we let it ring
from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city,
we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children,
black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics,
will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old negro spiritual,
"Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
Martin Luther King Jr
The advancement and diffusion of knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty
James Madison
The most certain test by which we judge whether a country is really free
is the amount of security enjoyed by minorities
Lord Acton
Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others
William Allen White
The Liberty Bell is "a very significant symbol for the entire democratic world"
Nelson Mandela
Proclaim Liberty throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants thereof
Lev. XXV X: Verse inscribed on the Liberty Bell
And there's a bell that still echoes the price that it cost to be free
