Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

The liberty of the individual is a necessary postulate of human progress.

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

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?

Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.

Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.

This will only be accomplished by wise legislation, the maintenance of our integrity, and the faithful and just redemption of our plighted faith wherever it has been pledged.
