"People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought, which they avoid."	Soren Aabye Kierkegaard
"Rome remained free for four hundred years and Sparta eight hundred, although their citizens were armed all that time; but many other states that have been disarmed have lost their liberties in less than forty years."	Nicolo Machiavelli
"The Declaration of Independence dogmatically bases all rights on the fact that God created all men equal; and it is right; for if they were not created equal, they were certainly evolved unequal. There is no basis for democracy except in a dogma about the divine origin of man."	GK Chesterton
"The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog."	GK Chesterton
"The history of free men is never really written by chance but by choice -- their choice."	Dwight Eisenhower
"The jaws of power are always open to devour, and her arm is always stretched out, if possible, to destroy the freedom of thinking, speaking, and writing."	John Adams
"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."	Thomas Jefferson
"The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all."	Henry Mencken
"The very idea of freedom presupposes some objective moral law which overarches rulers and ruled alike. Subjectivism about values is eternally incompatible with democracy. We and our rulers are of one kind only so long as we are subject to one law. But if there is no Law of Nature, the ethos of any society is the creation of its rulers, educators and conditioners; and every creator stands above and outside his own creation."	C.S. Lewis
"There is only one force of history that can break the reign of hatred and resentment, and expose the pretensions of tyrants, and reward the hopes of the decent and tolerant, and that is the force of human freedom."	George W. Bush
"Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves."	Abraham Lincoln
"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it."	Thomas Paine
"To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it."	GK Chesterton
"Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself."	Milton Friedman
"When an American says that he loves his country, he means not only that he loves the New England hills, the prairies glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains, the great mountains, and the sea. He means that he loves an inner air, an inner light in which freedom lives and in which a man can draw the breath of self-respect."	Adlai Stevenson
