Quotes of the Past: The Winning of Freedom

“The winning of freedom is not to be compared to the winning of a game – with victory recorded forever in history. Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men; and so it must be daily earned and refreshed – or else, like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.”

(Dwight D. Eisenhower, General of the Army, 34th President of the United States of America)
