Nothing is more precious than independence and liberty.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The independence of the United States is not only more precious to ourselves but to the world than any single possession.
Listen, when you take my liberty away, you've taken away more-something more precious than life. I mean, what good is a life without liberty? Huh? None.
It is true that liberty is precious; so precious that it must be carefully rationed.
There can be no liberty unless there is economic liberty.

Liberty: One of Imagination's most precious possessions.
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 not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end.
Liberty is the only thing you can't have unless you give it to others.
