“Think for a moment: what is the British equivalent of the U.S. Fourth of July, or even the French 14th of July for that matter?”
Gordon Brown
“What better day to lay the cornerstone of the Freedom Tower than the day our country declared its independence.”
George Pataki
“July 4. Statistics show that we lose more fools on this day than in all the other days of the year put together. This proves, by the number left in stock, that one fourth of July per year is now inadequate, the country has grown so.”
Mark Twain
“I don't think anyone could have picked a better title than 'Superman' to open in Imax 3D on July Fourth weekend.”
Greg Foster
“You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.”

“This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.”
Elmer Davis
“Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed - else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.”
Dwight David Eisenhower
