It is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad.

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

When liberty is taken away by force it can be restored by force. When it is relinquished voluntarily by default it can never be recovered.

The true danger is when liberty is nibbled away, for expedience, and by parts.

I say to you that the price of liberty is and always has been blood, human blood, and if our liberties are lost, we shall never regain them except at the price of blood. They must not be lost.

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.

There is nothing with which it is so dangerous to take liberties as liberty itself.

Where liberty is, there is my country.

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.

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.
