Liberty is the right of every man to be honest, to think and to speak without hypocrisy.

Liberty is the right of doing whatever the laws permit.

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.

We must have constantly present in our minds the difference between independence and liberty. Liberty is a right of doing whatever the laws permit, and if a citizen could do what they forbid he would no longer be possessed of liberty.

I think a lot of people in America do not understand that the basis of true liberty can't happen without an objective moral standard by which we live our lives.

Each of us has a natural right, from God, to defend his person, his liberty, and his property.

But while human liberty has engaged the attention of the enlightened, and enlisted the feelings of the generous of all civilized nations, may we not enquire if this liberty has been rightly understood?

Liberty is the right to do what I like; license, the right to do what you like.
