Liberty is the right to do what I like; license, the right to do what you like.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Liberty is the proper end and object of authority, and cannot subsist without it; and it is liberty to that which is good, just, and honest.
The right of liberty is God-given and immortal. It cannot be regulated. Or controlled. It cannot be banned. And it must not be restricted.
Liberty is the right of every man to be honest, to think and to speak without hypocrisy.
If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
By liberty I mean the assurance that every man shall be protected in doing what he believes is his duty against the influence of authority and majorities, custom and opinion.
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.
Liberty is not the power of doing what we like, but the right to do what we ought.
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 the right of doing whatever the laws permit.
