Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it.

Liberty consists in the power of doing that which is permitted by the law.

Liberty is ceding a certain amount of your ability to do what you want so that everybody else can live in peace and freedom and respecting the rights of other people.

Liberty is the condition of duty, the guardian of conscience. It grows as conscience grows. The domains of both grow together. Liberty is safety from all hindrances, even sin. So that Liberty ends by being Free Will.

Liberty, as it is conceived by current opinion, has nothing inherent about it; it is a sort of gift or trust bestowed on the individual by the state pending good behavior.

True liberty consists only in the power of doing what we ought to will, and in not being constrained to do what we ought not to will.

Liberty is the proper end and object of authority, and cannot subsist without it; and it is liberty to that which is good, just, and honest.

There can be no liberty unless there is economic liberty.

Liberty cannot be preserved, if the manners of the people are corrupted.

Liberty is not merely a privilege to be conferred; it is a habit to be acquired.
