There can be but little liberty on earth while men worship a tyrant in heaven.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Both liberty and equality are among the primary goals pursued by human beings through many centuries; but total liberty for wolves is death to the lambs, total liberty of the powerful, the gifted, is not compatible with the rights to a decent existence of the weak and the less gifted.
Isaiah Berlin
Dictatorship naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme liberty.
Plato
Extremism in the defence of liberty is no vice, and moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.
Barry Morris Goldwater
Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost
Thomas Jefferson
You cannot have Liberty in this world without what you call Moral Virtue & you cannot have Moral Virtue without the Slavery of that half of the Human Race who hate what you call Moral Virtue
William Blake
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety
Benjamin Franklin
You are a guardian and protector of liberty. You may be the only thing that stands between freedom and slavery. And if you can, join those who are willing to take a stand in Washington, DC on 9-12. If not, stand together somewhere in your community on 9-12. Get involved. They're very well organized in their communities, and I didn't realize how many socialist communities there were.
Glenn Beck
Political liberty, the tranquility of a nation, nay, knowledge itself, are gifts on which destiny has laid a tax of blood!
Honor de Balzac
As soon as liberty is complete it dies in anarchy.
Will Durant
Creativity is the greatest expression of liberty.
Bryant McGill
The people are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.
Thomas Jefferson
The right of conscience and private judgment is unalienable, and it is truly the interest of all mankind to unite themselves into one body for the liberty, free exercise, and unmolested enjoyment of this right.
Ezra Stiles
Liberty, equality bad principles! The only true principle for humanity is justice; and justice to the feeble becomes necessarily protection or kindness.
Henri-Frdric Amiel
