Freiheit und Leben kann man uns nehmen, die Ehre nicht.
Freedom and life can be taken from us, but not our honor.

You can take everything from me except the freedom to look up at the sky occasionally.

They're already taking my future! They can't have the things that mattered to me in the past!

You cannot take away freedom to protect it, you cannot destroy the free market to save it, and you cannot uphold freedom of speech by silencing those with whom you disagree. To take rights away to defend them or to spend your way out of debt defies common sense.

You can't stop my voice cause you don't own my life but do what you want with my body.

Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.

I hope you don’t mind, but I took the liberty of taking away your freedoms. –Uncle Sam

It is more than their land that you take away from the people whose native land you take. It is their past as well, their roots and their identity. If you take away the things that they have been used to see, and will be expecting to see, you may, in a way, as well take out their eyes.

I claim no right to myself, no right to this understanding, this will, these affections that are in me. Neither do I have any right to this body or its members, no right to this tongue, to these hands, feet, ears or eyes. I have given myself clear away and not retained anything of my own.

Rights aren't really rights if someone can take them away.

It is more than their land that you take away from the people, whose Native land you take. It is their past as well, their roots and their identity. If you take away the things that they have been used to see, and will be expecting to see, you may, in a way, as well take their eyes.

You can't have my heart and you won't use my mind, but do what you want with my body.

Take my hand, take my whole life, too.

Liberties aren't given, they are taken.
