“I would rather belong to a poor nation that was free than to a rich nation that had ceased to be in love with liberty.”
Woodrow T. Wilson
“A poor nation, but with rich politicians, shows the exceptional care of the latter for the ruling people!”
Mariana Fulger
“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”
“Four score and seven years ago, our father brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal”
Abraham Lincoln
“Nothing brings more pain than too much pleasure; nothing more bondage than too much liberty, (or libertinism.)”
