Quote from Dwight D. Eisenhower,


"It is an ancient truth that freedom cannot be legislated into existence, so it is no less obvious that freedom cannot be censored into existence. And any who act as if freedom’s defenses are found in suppression and suspicion and fear confess a doctrine that is alien to America."

Dwight D. Eisenhower (more quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower or books by/about Dwight D. Eisenhower)
