I know of no country in which there is so little independence of mind and real freedom of discussion as in America.
Alexis de Tocqueville

I play a curator, the most American part you can think of. My work is to protect the Declaration of Independence. I work at the National Archives in Washington.
Diane Kruger

I really think we should pass a law in every state, I don't care whether it takes the independence away from an old person or not. You shouldn't be driving a car if you're over the age of 80. Maybe even less than that.
Evel Knievel

I remember that during the period leading up to independence in Angola in 1975, I was the only correspondent there at all for three months.
Ryszard Kapuscinski

I saw clearly how those who saved the state so heroically and courageously in the War of Independence would be capable of bringing a catastrophe upon it if they are given the chance in normal times.
Moshe Sharett

I think it's a lovely idea, but it will not pass the Congress. I live in a world of realities. The policy of our country is that we can drill our way to independence. I think that's a march to folly.
Anna Eshoo

I think that there is a relatively small number of people who are pushing for independence in Taiwan.
Fred Thompson

I think that you have to do everything you can do to empower girls when they are young, from their education, to their successful independence, to their sexual self-knowledge.
Susie Bright

I think the girl who is able to earn her own living and pay her own way should be as happy as anybody on earth. The sense of independence and security is very sweet.
Susan B. Anthony

I want my candidacy for the presidency of the United States to stand for a moment when we the people, stand once again for the independence from a government that has gotten too big and spends too much and has taken away too much of our liberties.
Michele Bachmann

I want to emphasize the fact that the independence of Kosovo should and will be recognized.
Ibrahim Rugova

I was allowed to wander where I could. Here is a case in which you search for your independence and allow something creative to come out of that.
George Woodcock

I was born with a fierce need for independence.
Michelle Williams

I will for ever, at all hazards, assert the dignity, independence, and integrity of the English bar; without which, impartial justice, the most valuable part of the English constitution, can have no existence.
Thomas Erskine

I would have to have people totally committed to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of this United States. And many of the Muslims, they are not totally dedicated to this country. They are not dedicated to our Constitution. Many of them are trying to force Sharia law on the people of this country.
Herman Cain

I'm for economic independence.
Charles Evers

I've always been an independent person, but that independence was in the setting of security.
Patricia Heaton

I've always wanted to be my own person and stand by the things I believe in and I thought I might lose that independence if I ran for political office.
Samuel Dash

If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.
Henry Ford

If the Constitution is worth anything, if the Declaration of Independence is worth anything, if the boys who died on the field of battle did not die in vain, fair employment practices are correct and necessary.
