He always pictured himself a libertarian, which to my way of thinking means I want the liberty to grow rich and you can have the liberty to starve. It's easy to believe that no one should depend on society for help when you yourself happen not to need such help.
Isaac Asimov
Image
A colleague once described political theorists as people who were obsessed with two dozen books after half a century of grappling with Mill's essay On Liberty, or Hobbes's Leviathan, I have sometimes thought two dozen might be a little on the high side.
Alan Ryan

What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free.
Friedrich August von Hayek
Image
Let's all cry peace, freedom, and liberty!
William Shakespeare

We must teach our children that the preservation of liberty, and of an order of society conducive to human dignity, requires that a free people retain the moral and material means to discipline its own government, should the temptation to tyranny take root.
Alan Keyes
Image
At the root of the assault on our liberties is, in fact, an assault on our character--an assault that assumes that we are not good enough to be free, and that aims to make sure that we are no longer strong enough, courageous enough, disciplined enough to be a free people.
Alan Keyes
Image
There can be no self-government without self-discipline. There can be no self-government without self-control. There can be no liberty unless it is grounded in moral discipline and the ability to do what is right.
Alan Keyes

How does it secure the blessings of liberty to our posterity, to those generations yet unborn, to kill them, aborting them in the womb?
Alan Keyes
Image
Anything the government gives you is just another link in the chains that destroy your liberty.
Alan Keyes
Image
Liberty plucks justice by the nose The baby beats the nurse, and quite athwart Goes all decorum.
William Shakespeare
Image
Why, headstrong liberty is lashed with woe. There's nothing situate under heaven's eye But hath his bound, in earth, in sea, in sky.
William Shakespeare
Image
Were we directed from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we should soon want bread.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
Thought that is silenced is always rebellious. Majorities, of course, are often mistaken. This is why the silencing of minorities is necessarily dangerous. Criticism and dissent are the indispensable antidote to major delusions.
Alan Barth
Image
The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
The tidal wave of God's providence is carrying liberty throughout the globe.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.
John Milton
Image
What some people term Freedom is nothing else than a liberty of saying and doing disagreeable things. It is but carrying the notion a little higher, and it would require us to break and have a head broken reciprocally without offense.
William Shenstone
Image
I came home from Portugal convinced that nothing is so important as making known what the Mother of God asked in those apparitions of 1917 . . . The future of our civilization, our liberties, our very existence may depend upon the acceptance of her commands.
William Thomas Walsh
Image
One of the functions of government is to act as a safeguard not just of property but of our liberties.
William Weld
Image
I was not only hunting for my liberty, but also hunting for my name.
William Wells Brown
Image
I would have the Constitution torn in shreds and scattered to the four winds of heaven. Let us destroy the Constitution and build on its ruins the temple of liberty. I have brothers in slavery. I have seen chains placed on their limbs and beheld them captive.
William Wells Brown
Image
It was the transmutation of the classical liberal intellectual foundation by Christianity that gave modern Europe its impetus and that pushed European accomplishment so far ahead of all other cultures and civilizations around the world.
