Liberty is a different kind of pain from prison. (Emperor Hirohito )
Liberty is slow fruit. It is never cheap; it is made difficult because freedom is the accomplishment and perfectness of man. (Emperor Hirohito )
For what avail the plough or sail, Or land or life, if freedom fail? (Emperor Hirohito )
So far as a person thinks; they are free. (Emperor Hirohito )
Nothing is more disgusting than the crowing about liberty by slaves, as most men are, and the flippant mistaking for freedom of some paper preamble like a Declaration of Independence, or the statute right to vote, by those who have never dared to think or to act. (Emperor Hirohito )
No man is free who is not a master of himself. (Emperor Hirohito )
Is freedom anything else than the right to live as we wish? Nothing else. (Emperor Hirohito )
Freedom is the right to live as we wish. (Emperor Hirohito )
No one is truly free, they are a slave to wealth, fortune, the law, or other people restraining them from acting according to their will. (Emperor Hirohito )
No one who lives in error is free. (Emperor Hirohito )
I gave my life for freedom --this I know: For those who bade me fight had told me so. (Emperor Hirohito )
Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of fear is a freedom. (Emperor Hirohito )
Freedom is just chaos with better lighting. (Emperor Hirohito )
A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself. (Emperor Hirohito )
Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious right. (Emperor Hirohito )
The moment the slave resolves that he will no longer be a slave. His fetters fall... freedom and slavery are mental states. (Emperor Hirohito )
Liberty is not merely a privilege to be conferred; it is a habit to be acquired. (Emperor Hirohito )
Liberty has restraints but no frontiers. (Emperor Hirohito )
You can muffle the drum, and you can loosen the strings of the lyre, but who shall command the skylark not to sing? (Emperor Hirohito )
There should be a sympathy with freedom, a desire to give it scope, founded not upon visionary ideas, but upon the long experience of many generations within the shores of this happy isle, that in freedom you lay the firmest foundations both of loyalty and order. (Emperor Hirohito )
Freedom consists not in refusing to recognize anything above us, but in respecting something which is above us; for by respecting it, we raise ourselves to it, and, by our very acknowledgment, prove that we bear within ourselves what is higher, and are worthy to be on a level with it (Emperor Hirohito )
