"History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid." ― Dwight D. Eisenhower Topic(s): Freedom Tags: entrust, history More From Dwight D. Eisenhower "Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him." "When you are in any contest, you should work as if there were – to the very last minute – a chance to lose it. This is battle, this is politics, this is anything." "Politics is a profession; a serious, complicated and, in its true sense, a noble one." More In Freedom "In South Africa, we could not have achieved our freedom and just peace without the help of people around the world, who through the use of non-violent means, such as boycotts and divestment, encouraged their governments and other corporate actors to reverse decades-long support for the Apartheid regime."― Desmond Tutu "It is for each of us freely to choose whom we shall serve, and find in that obedience our freedom."― Mary Richards "That’s free enterprise, friends: freedom to gamble, freedom to lose. And the great thing – the truly democratic thing about it – is that you don’t even have to be a player to lose."― Barbara Ehrenreich
