“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
“Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”
Benjamin Franklin
“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
“Enslave the liberty of but one human being and the liberties of the world are put in peril”
William Lloyd Garrison
“I believe in human dignity as the source of national purpose, human liberty as the source of national action, the human heart as the source of national compassion, and in the human mind as the source of our invention and our ideas”
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
