Indians today are governed by two different ideologies. Their political ideal set in the preamble of the Constitution affirms a life of liberty equality and fraternity. Their social ideal embodied in their religion denies them.
I like the religion that teaches liberty equality and fraternity.
Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.
I am an aristocrat. I love liberty I hate equality.
Equality is the soul of liberty there is in fact no liberty without it.
Equality rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences wrongly understood as it has been so tragically in our time it leads first to conformity and then to despotism.
Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
And what is liberty whose very name makes the heart beat faster and shakes the world? Is it not the union of all liberties - liberty of conscience of education of association of the press of travel or labor or trade?
My education was the liberty I had to read indiscriminately and all the time with my eyes hanging out.
Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army.
