“Individual liberty can only be acquired individually. It is not something to be imposed, nor it is automatically guaranteed. One begins to commence it when the mind is no longer enslaved by foreign ideas and outwards carriages are commissioned from inner independent thinking.”
Jonathan Chen
“A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.”
Oscar Wilde
“Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”
Benjamin Franklin
“Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual.”
Thomas Jefferson
“Without Freedom of thought, there can be no such Thing as Wisdom; and no such thing as public Liberty, without Freedom of speech”
“Nothing brings more pain than too much pleasure; nothing more bondage than too much liberty, (or libertinism.)”
“The last time I was inside a woman was when I was inside the Statue of Liberty.”
Woody Allen
