Our constitutional liberties shall not be sacrificed in our search for greater security, for that is what our enemies and all enemies of freedom and democracy hope to achieve.

Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as a heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors.

We're giving our freedoms away. The American experiment was about freedom. Freedom to be stupid, freedom to fail, freedom to succeed.

With the blessings of liberty, we have responsibilities to defend it.

Whenever we take away the liberties of those whom we hate we are opening the way to loss of liberty for those we love.

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

I am ready to debate how we fight terrorism without giving up our liberty.

Freedom cannot be given... It can only be taken away.

Our contest is not only whether we ourselves shall be free, but whether there shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth for civil and religious liberty.

If we really want liberty - if we really want liberty - then we need to go out and get it, we need to take it, because nobody is going to give it to us. And we need to do it now.
