Enjoy the best Emma Lazarus Quotes. Quotations by Emma Lazarus (American Poet)
Jan 01, 1970 - Jan 01, 1970

Liberty is not a gift that can be given; it is a right that must be taken.

Modern people are too much obsessed by the idea of being 'useful'.

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me.

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame is the imprisoned lightning.

The new Colossus... is a Mother of Exiles.

In every fiber of my being, I am a Jew.

Until we are all free, we are none of us free.

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
