No nation ancient or proverb

 No nation ancient or modern ever lost the liberty of freely speaking, writing, or publishing their sentiments, but forthwith lost their liberty in general and became slaves.

 The liberty of speaking and writing guards our other liberties.
  Thomas Jefferson

 Although the political liberty of this country is greater than that of nearly every other civilized nation, its personal liberty is said to be less.

 The purpose of the 'Liberty Index' is to inform Pennsylvanians how well (or how poorly) members of the General Assembly and Gov. Ed Rendell defended our Liberty.

 We can apply this to our post-9/11 environment, ... because we have not lost our idealism, love of freedom, civil liberty, and commerce-but we do have a very practical task. As the president told Attorney General John Ashcroft at the time, 'Do not let this happen to America again.'

 I rejoice that America has resisted. Three millions of people, so dead to all the feelings of liberty, as voluntarily to submit to be slaves, would have been fit instruments to make slaves of the rest.
  William Pitt the elder

 It is not the fact of liberty but the way in which liberty is exercised that ultimately determines whether liberty itself survives
  Dorothy Thompson

 Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it.
  Nadia Boulanger

 The proclamation and repetition of first principles is a constant feature of life in our democracy. Active adherence to these principles, however, has always been considered un-American. We recipients of the boon of liberty have always been ready, when faced with discomfort, to discard any and all first principles of liberty, and, further, to indict those who do not freely join with us in happily arrogating those principles.
  David Mamet

 It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once.
  David Hume

 Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.
  Thomas Jefferson

 Those who won our independence... valued liberty as an end and as a means. They believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty.
  Louis D. Brandeis

 Liberty has never come from Government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it... The history of liberty is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it.
  Woodrow T. Wilson

 Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the Government's purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal well meaning but without understanding.
  Louis D. Brandeis
