The
tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson
Let
every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall
pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any
friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of
liberty.
John F. Kennedy
When
the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government
fears the people, there is liberty.
Thomas Jefferson
Democracy
and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But
notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty,
socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.
Alexis de Tocqueville
We
hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal;
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness.
Thomas Jefferson
Fourscore
and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a
new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created equal.
Abraham Lincoln
Our
defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as
a heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere. Destroy this spirit
and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors.
Abraham Lincoln
Is
life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of
chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course
others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!
Patrick Henry
If
liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found
in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share
in government to the utmost.
Aristotle
Advocates
of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of
liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be
restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate.
Bertrand Russell
