~ Henry Brooks Adams - [Liberty]

Liberty can not be preserved without a general knowledge among the people.
~ John Adams - [Liberty]

The ingrained idea that, because there is no king and they despise titles, the Americans are a free people is pathetically untrue. There is a perpetual interference with personal liberty over there that would not be tolerated in England for a week.

There is nothing with which it is so dangerous to take liberties as liberty itself.
~ Andre Breton - [Liberty]

Liberty must be limited in order to be possessed.
~ Edmund Burke - [Liberty]

The effect of liberty to individuals is that they may do what they please: we ought to see what it will please them to do, before we risk congratulations.
~ Edmund Burke - [Liberty]

When anything goes, it's women who lose.
~ Camille Paglia - [Liberals]
