Freedom

We mislike no bishops save that they stand by a tyrannous church.

We attack not faiths or opinions, but despotism.

I was lord of the whole manor; or, if I pleased, I might call myself king or emperor over the whole country which I had possession of.

I had no competitor, none to dispute sovereignty or command with me.

Freedom means responsibility; that is the reason why most people are afraid of it

: I prefer liberty with danger than peace with slavery

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance

Never exceed your rights, and they will soon become unlimited

He who is brave is free

A mother who is really a mother is never free

God tolerates even our stammering, and pardons our ignorance whenever something inadvertently escapes us - as, indeed, without this mercy there would be no freedom to pray

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

Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom

People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they seldom use

What most clearly characterizes true freedom and its true employment is its misemployment

If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter

There are laws to protect the freedom of the press's speech, but none that are worth anything to protect the people from the press

Old age: A great sense of calm and freedom. When the passions have relaxed their hold, you may have escaped, not from one master but from many.

Old age, calm, expanded, broad with the haughty breadth of the universe, old age flowing free with the delicious near-by freedom of death

Only the educated are free
