The price we have to pay for money is sometimes liberty.

It is a clear truth that those who every day barter away other men's liberty will soon care little for their own.

What a curious phenomenon it is that you can get men to die for the liberty of the world who will not make the little sacrifice that is needed to free themselves from their own individual bondage.

I will not attack your doctrines nor your creeds if they accord liberty to me. If they hold thought to be dangerous - if they aver that doubt is a crime then I attack them one and all because they enslave the minds of men.

People who have no hold over their process of thinking are likely to be ruined by liberty of thought. If thought is immature liberty of thought becomes a method of converting men into animals.

When men yield up the privilege of thinking the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon.

Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.
