| | I shall defer my visit to Faneuil Hall, the cradle of American liberty, until its doors shall fly open, on golden hinges, to lovers of Union as well as of Liberty.more Daniel Webster quotes | On the light of Liberty you saw arise the light of Peace, like "another morn,"
"Risen on mid-noon;" and the sky on which you closed your eye was cloudless.more Daniel Webster quotes | Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States.more Noah Webster quotes | | In Europe, when tobacco
was first introduced,
it was immediately banned.
In Turkey, if you
got caught with tobacco,
you had your nose slit.
China and Russia imposed
the death penalty
for possession of tobacco.more Andrew Weil, MD quotes | | | The real freedom of any individual can always be measured by the amount of responsibility which he must assume for his own welfare and security.more Robert Welch quotes | I want for our country enough laws to restrain me from injuring others, so that these laws will also restrain others from injuring me. I want enough government, with enough constitutional safeguards, so that this necessary minimum of laws will be applied equitably to everybody, and will be binding on the rulers as well as those ruled. Beyond that I want neither laws nor government to be imposed on our people as a means or with the excuse of protecting us from catching cold, or of seeing that we raise the right kind of crops, or of forcing us to live in the right kind of houses or neighborhoods, or of compelling us to save money or to spend it, or of telling us when or whether we can pray. I do not want government or laws designed for any other form of welfarism or paternalism, based on the premise that government knows best and can run our lives better than we can run them ourselves. And my concept of freedom, and of its overwhelming importance, is implicit in these aspirations and ideals.more Robert Welch quotes | When choosing between two evils I always like to take the one I've never tried before.more Mae West quotes | Liberty is never out of bounds or off limits; it spreads wherever it can capture the imagination of men.more E. B. White quotes | | The shallow consider liberty a release from all law, from every constraint.
The wise see in it, on the contrary, the potent Law of Laws.more Walt Whitman quotes | The business of America is not business. Neither is it war. The business of America is justice and securing the blessings of liberty.more George Will quotes | Democracy and liberty are not the same. Democracy is little more than mob rule, while liberty refers to the sovereignty of the individual.more Walter E. Williams quotes | And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.more Marianne Williamson quotes | | Liberty and happiness have a powerful enemy on each hand; on the one hand tyranny, on the other licentiousness [anarchy]. To guard against the latter, it is necessary to give the proper powers to government; and to guard against the former, it is necessary that those powers should be properly distributed.more James Wilson quotes | Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of government. The history of liberty is the history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it.more Woodrow Wilson quotes | | I have always in my own thought summed up individual liberty, and business liberty, and every other kind of liberty, in the phrase that is common in the sporting world, 'A free field and no favor.'more Woodrow Wilson quotes | He is the best friend to American liberty, who is most sincere and active in promoting true and undefiled religion, and who set himself with the greatest firmness to bear down on profanity and immorality of every kind. Whoever is an avowed enemy of God, I scruple not to call him an enemy to his country.more John Witherspoon quotes | | Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.more Malcolm X quotes | Drop out of school before your mind rots from exposure to our mediocre educational system.
Forget about the Senior Prom and go to the library and educate yourself if you've got any guts.
Some of you like pep rallies and plastic robots who tell you what to read.
Forget I mentioned it... Rise for the flag salute.more Frank Zappa quotes | The loss of liberty in general would soon follow the suppression of the liberty of the press; for it is an essential branch of liberty, so perhaps it is the best preservative of the whole.more John Peter Zenger quotes | No nation, ancient or modern, ever lost the liberty of speaking freely, writing, or publishing their sentiments, but forthwith lost their liberty in general and became slaves.more John Peter Zenger quotes |
