If God exists, how can we lay claim to freedom, since He is its beginning and its end?

It is by his freedom that a man knows himself, by his sovereignty over his own life that a man measures himself.

It is by the fortune of God that in our country we have three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and the prudence never to practise either of them.

Freedom is the right to tell people what they don't want to hear.

My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Liberty doesn't work as well in practice as it does in speeches.

If people have to choose between freedom and sandwiches, they will take sandwiches.

Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.

You can only be free if I am free.
