"Liberty in thought and action is the..." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“Renunciation is in our blood.”

“Oh, to live even for a day in the full light of freedom, to breathe the free air of simplicity! Isn't that the highest purity?”

“The ignorant man never enjoys.”

“Free speech exercised both individually and through a free press, is a necessity in any country where people are themselves free.”

“Freedom is a man's natural power of doing what he pleases, so far as he is not prevented by force or law.”

“Liberty, when it degrades into licentiousness, begets confusion, and frequently ends in tyranny or some woeful confusion.”

“Nothing has been purchased more dearly than the little bit of reason and sense of freedom which now constitutes our pride.”

“[T]he man who, in the concrete pressure of a struggle for national independence by a single people, had the coolness, forecast, and capacity to introduce into a merely revolutionary document, an abstract truth, applicable to all men and all times, and so to embalm it there, that to-day, and in all coming days, it shall be a rebuke and a stumbling-block to the very harbingers of reappearing tyranny and oppression.”

“There is no justification for taking away individuals' freedom in the guise of public safety.”
