Liberty is not the unique right of Americans or even Westerners, but is mankind's right.

Liberty doesn't work as well in practice as it does in speeches.

The difference between Liberty and liberties is as great as God and gods.

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.

That liberty is a great thing we may know from our own feelings, and we may likewise judge so from the conduct of the white-people, in the late war.

We are as great as our belief in human liberty - no greater. And our belief in human liberty is only ours when it is larger than ourselves.

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.

Liberty is not the power of doing what we like, but the right to do what we ought.

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.

Ultimately, I'm about liberty and I think you have to defend it.
