Patriotism & freedom

Thank you to my friend, Joni Palita, for the evocative photo and inspiring quotes. Plenty to think about as we celebrate the 4th of July in these interesting times.

“True patriotism springs from a belief in the dignity of the individual, freedom and equality not only for Americans but for all people on earth.”
— Eleanor Roosevelt

“Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves.”
― Abraham Lincoln

“The function of freedom is to free someone else.”
― Toni Morrison, Nobel Peace Prize for Literature
