“The adjacent shores resounded with the alternate shouts of the sons of liberty and the groans of their parting spirits.”
“A free spirit takes liberties even with liberty itself.”
“Yank some of the groans out of your prayers and shove in some shouts.”
“Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias.”
“Where the Spirit of God is, there is liberty.”
“Life without liberty is like a body without spirit.”
