It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech freedom of conscience and the prudence never to practice either of them.

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

Free speech carries with it some freedom to listen.

Freedom of speech includes the freedom to offend people.

I believe in freedom of speech but I believe we should also have the right to comment on freedom of speech.

I'm a big advocate of freedom: freedom of speech freedom of expression freedom of thought.

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.

I say let's go back to a truer use of the word 'freedom.' Let's start with President Franklin Roosevelt's Four Freedoms: freedom of speech and expression freedom of worship freedom from want and freedom from fear. I would add the freedom to bargain collectively. Those freedoms are under attack today.

In the spiritual body moreover man appears such as he is with respect to love and faith for everyone in the spiritual world is the effigy of his own love not only as to the face and the body but also as to the speech and the actions.

Each party steals so many articles of faith from the other and the candidates spend so much time making each other's speeches that by the time election day is past there is nothing much to do save turn the sitting rascals out and let a new gang in.
