History has taught us over and over again that freedom is not free. When push comes to shove, the ultimate protectors of freedom and liberty are the brave men and women in our armed forces. Throughout our history, they've answered the call in bravery and sacrifice.
If we want to talk about freedom, we must mean freedom for others as well as ourselves, and we must mean freedom for everyone inside our frontiers as well as outside.
Freedom is something that dies unless it's used.
Freedom is a man's natural power of doing what he pleases, so far as he is not prevented by force or law.

The events with Henry III happened, obviously the way it happened, liberties were taken.
There is nothing with which it is so dangerous to take liberties as liberty itself.
