Alexis de Tocqueville Experience teaches us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purposes are beneficent. Louis D Brandeis Too much liberty corrupts us all. Terence Liberty will not descend to a people; a people must raise themselves to liberty; it is a blessing that must be earned before it can be enjoyed. Charles Caleb Colton The advancement and diffusion of knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty. James Madison Liberty consists in wholesome restraint. Daniel Webster It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once. David Hume The liberty of man consists solely in this: that he obeys natural laws because he has himself recognised them as such, and not because they have been externally imposed upon him by any extrinsic will whatever, divine or human, collective or individual. Mikhail Bakunin |
