Whenever men take the law into their own hands the loser is the law. And when the law loses freedom languishes.

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.

Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.

Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement.

A free press can of course be good or bad but most certainly without freedom the press will never be anything but bad.
