No one can enjoy freedom without trembling.
Freedom is fragile and must be protected. To sacrifice it even as a temporary measure is to betray it.
Freedom means the opportunity to be what we never thought we would be.
The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.
Here's a nation one of the founding pillars was freedom of speech and freedom of expression. And yet we have imposed upon people restrictions on what they can say on what they can think. And the media is the largest proponent of this crucifying people who say things really quite innocently.
Many politicians are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim.
The man form is higher than the angel form of all forms it is the highest. Man is the highest being in creation because he aspires to freedom.
The new freedom of expression brought by the Internet goes far beyond politics. People relate to each other in new ways posing questions about how we should respond to people when all that we know about them is what we have learned through a medium that permits all kinds of anonymity and deception.
America to me is freedom.
It is easy to believe in freedom of speech for those with whom we agree.
