All tongues and races are American,
All nations are embodied in her job,
To breed the noble concept of a man
Whose freedom is, that others should be free.

Freedom

More quotes by Russell Davenport

Freedom is not to limit, but to share;
And freedom here is freedom everywhere.

My Country (1944)

My country loves the lovers of her flag:
The strong, oracular emblem of her will —
The spangled cloth of peace — the bloody rag
Above embattled gulch and smoking hill,
Like freedom nailed in pain against the sky.
