"There is no justification for taking away..." - Quote by Thomas Jefferson

“We do not mean to count or weigh our contributions by any standard other than that of our abilities.”

“no people can be both ignorant and free.”

“Such is the moral construction of the world that no national crime passes unpunished in the long run... Were present oppressors to reflect on the same truth, they would spare to their own countries the penalties on their present wrongs which will be inflicted on them in future times. The seeds of hatred and revenge which they sow with a large hand will not fail to produce their fruits in time. Like their brother robbers on the highway, they suppose the escape of the moment a final escape and deem infamy and future risk countervailed by present gain.”

“Live free, child of the mist,- and with respect to knowledge we are allchildren of the mist.”

“The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave.”

“If the lambs of the world had been willingly led, they would have long ago saved themselves from the butcher's knife.”

“The ideal Government of all reflective men, from Aristotle onward, is one which lets the individual alone - one which barely escapes being no government at all.”

“The only liberty an inferior man really cherishes is the liberty to quit work, stretch out in the sun, and scratch himself.”

“We desire to give the Soviet people absolute liberty of voting for those they desire to elect, those whom they trust to ensure their interests.”
