"Too much liberty leads both men and..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“The following passage is one of those cited by Copernicus himself in his preface to De Revolutionibus: "The Syracusan Hicetas, as Theophrastus asserts, holds the view that the heaven, sun, moon, stars, and in short all of the things on high are stationary, and that nothing in the world is in motion except the earth, which by revolving and twisting round its axis with extreme velocity produces all the same results as would be produced if the earth were stationary and the heaven in motion. . . ."”

“He does not seem to me to be a free man who does not sometimes do nothing.”

“Rightly defined philosophy is simply the love of wisdom.”

“If no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capcity to govern someone else.”

“Variety made the Revolution. Liberty was just a pretext.”

“He who confuses political liberty with freedom and political equality with similarity has never thought for five minutes about either.”

“If we look to our responsibility to the generations yet unborn who will come after us, how can we fail to recognize that peace and freedom are inextricably bound up one with another and that the threat to one is a threat to both”

“Swaraj is our birthright. No one can deprive us of it unless we forfeit it ourselves.”

“What is the value of any political freedom, but as a means to moral freedom?”
