Carelessness about our security is dangerous; carelessness about our freedom is also dangerous

America is much more than a geographical fact. It is a political and moral fact - the first community in which men set out in principle to institutionalize freedom, responsible government, and human equality.

What better day to lay the cornerstone of the Freedom Tower than the day our country declared its independence.

We, and all others who believe in freedom as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than live on our knees

All you have to do is look up on the Fourth of July.

And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
