Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Liberty is not merely a privilege to be conferred; it is a habit to be acquired.
What light is to the eyes - what air is to the lungs - what love is to the heart, liberty is to the soul of man.
Liberty is to the collective body, what health is to every individual body. Without health no pleasure can be tasted by man; without liberty, no happiness can be enjoyed by society.
What a curious phenomenon it is that you can get men to die for the liberty of the world who will not make the little sacrifice that is needed to free themselves from their own individual bondage.
