It gives me pleasure to find that public liberty is effectually secured in each and all the policies of the United States, though somewhat differently modeled.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Experience teaches us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purposes are beneficent.
Learned Institutions ought to be favorite objects with every free people. They throw that light over the public mind which is the best security against crafty and dangerous encroachments on the public liberty.
The desire for security must be balanced with our regard for liberty.
By liberty I mean the assurance that every man shall be protected in doing what he believes is his duty against the influence of authority and majorities, custom and opinion.
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.
I told them that free people always had to decide where to draw the line between their liberty and their security. I noted that the attacks would almost certainly push us as a nation more toward security.
Liberty is security. Freedom is security.
Most people want security in this world, not liberty.
To talk about liberty and freedom is nice, lovely, but the important thing is to allow people to act in liberty and freedom.
I think a lot of people in America do not understand that the basis of true liberty can't happen without an objective moral standard by which we live our lives.
