Liberty Quotes
-
Then shoulder to shoulder! Let us engirdle the little circle of the earth with the chains that bind us to each other. To one end let us aim our thoughts, and to one end let us aim our souls. Hail, dawn of liberty, behind thee is the redeeming sun.
Adam Mickiewicz
-
Truth is mysterious, elusive, always to be conquered. Liberty is dangerous, as hard to live with as it is elating. We must march toward these two goals, painfully but resolutely, certain in advance of our failings on so long a road.
Albert Camus
-
Liberty never meant the license to do anything at will.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
The whole freedom of man consists either in spiritual or civil liberty.
John Milton

Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others.
William Allen White

Deep in the frozen regions of the north,
A goddess violated brought thee forth,
Immortal Liberty!
Tobias Smollett

Our society is not perfect and this will come as no surprise to many of you. But liberty, you see, that precious child of our liberal democracy only two hundred years old, has one notable side effect. When virtue is at liberty, so to some extent is vice. In a free world there is, alas, more common crime than in a dictatorial system.
Barbara Amiel

George Will
-
Where men cannot freely convey their thoughts to one another, no other liberty is secure.
William Ernest Hocking
-
I come here with no expectations, only to profess, now that I am at liberty to do so, that my heart is and always will be yours.
Jane Austen
-
We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word many mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny.
Abraham Lincoln
-
Christians, above all people, should desire that their elected representatives submit to the Constitution, because it is constitutional government that has done more to protect Christian liberty than any governing document ever devised by man.
Chuck Baldwin
