Liberties aren't given, they are taken.

About This Quote

Liberties aren't given, they are taken. If you have a right, it's yours from birth to death, and once you have been granted that right you have the responsibility to be the best person possible. If you have a privilege, it's not something to take lightly. Privileges are a gift from other people and should be used wisely and with gratitude.
