"To extinguish the free will is to strike the conscience with death, for both have but one and the same life" — William Ellery Channing

How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.

So free we seem, so fettered fast we are

The less of government the better, if society were kept in peace and prosperity.

The spirit becomes free only when it ceases to be a support.

Love flies, runs, and rejoices; it is free and nothing can hold it back

Riches are chiefly good because they give us time
