“Only our individual faith in freedom can keep us free”
— Dwight D. Eisenhower

Simplified Meaning:
For us to stay free, each person must truly believe in the value of freedom. Think about a garden that belongs to everyone in a neighborhood. If each person cares about the garden and works to protect it, the garden will thrive and be a nice place for everyone to enjoy. But if people stop paying attention or don’t care about the garden, weeds will grow, and it will become messy and uninviting. Similarly, for our society to be free, every person needs to believe in and support the idea of freedom. If people start taking freedom for granted or stop caring about it, we might lose it. Just like taking care of a garden, keeping our freedom requires work and belief from each one of us.
