Where the state begins, individual liberty ceases, and vice versa.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Man's liberty ends, and it ought to end, when that liberty becomes the curse of its neighbors.
There can be no liberty unless there is economic liberty.
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.
Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it.
Liberty consists in the power of doing that which is permitted by the law.
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.
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
Where liberty is, there is my country.
It will be admitted on all hands, that with the exception of the powers surrendered by the Constitution of the United States, the people of the several States are absolutely and unconditionally sovereign within their respective territories.
The sovereignty of one's self over one's self is called Liberty.
