Formerly no one was proverb

 Formerly no one was allowed to think freely; now it is permitted, but no one is capable of it any more. Now people want to think only what they are supposed to want to think, and this they consider freedom.
  Oswald Spengler

 The press today is an army with carefully organized weapons, the journalists its officers, the readers its soldiers. But, as in every army, the soldier obeys blindly, and the war aims and operating plans change without his knowledge. The reader neither knows nor is supposed to know the purposes for which he is used and the role he is to play. There is no more appalling caricature of freedom of thought. Formerly no one was allowed to think freely; now it is permitted, but no one is capable of it any more. Now people want to think only what they are supposed to want to think, and this they consider freedom.
  Oswald Spengler

 Men are not allowed to think freely about chemistry and biology: why should they be allowed to think freely about political philosophy?
  Auguste Comte

 Everything that I wanted to say in my statement was not permitted and that's not just me. That's everybody else from our family. You really are very limited with what you can say to the defendant. However, his family was permitted to address me however they chose. But I wasn't allowed to say my opinion on the death penalty, what I thought of Daryl, what I thought should happen to Daryl. We weren't permitted to do that, so victims really have very limited rights.

 Ah! Freedom is a noble thing! Freedom makes man to have liking: freedom all solace to man gives: he lives at ease that freely lives!

 This much is certain. Those that oppose the Iraqi people's transition to freedom and self-rule will not be permitted to derail it. U.S. forces are on the offense,
  Donald Rumsfeld

 The force of public opinion cannot be resisted when permitted freely to be expressed. The agitation it produces must be submitted to.
  Thomas Jefferson

 There is absolutely no excuse for the disgraceful scenes in Dublin today. It is the essence of Irish democracy and republicanism that people are allowed to express their views freely and in a peaceful manner.

 It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it... anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
  Douglas Adams

 The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all hte states of created beings, capable of law, where there is no law there is no freedom.
  John Locke

 with a serious handicap as they enter college or private life where freedom of speech will be permitted.

 I think it's less about coming up with a list of what is or is not allowed, and it's more about making sure people understand the classroom is supposed to be a place where learning can go on, and if it's disruptive, people have the authority to eliminate disruption.

 He just had good control. That was the key. He didn't put people on base and allowed the defense to do what they were supposed to do.
