Therefore, the man who stands in the midst of the struggle and says, ‘I have it,' merely shows by doing so that he has just lost it.~ Henrik Ibsen You should never wear your best trousers when you go out to fight for freedom and liberty.~ Henrik Ibsen By physical liberty I mean the right to do anything which does not interfere with the happiness of another. By intellectual liberty I mean the right to think and the right to think wrong.~ Robert G. Ingersoll I am the inferior of any man whose rights I trample under foot.~ Robert G. Ingersoll 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.

Ingersoll There is no slavery but ignorance. Liberty is the child of intelligence.~ Robert G.

Jesse Jackson The day that this country ceases to be free for irreligion, it will cease to be free for religion.~ Justice Robert H. Jackson There is no such thing as an achieved liberty: like electricity, there can be no substantial storage and it must be generated as it is enjoyed, or the lights go out.~ Justice Robert H. Jackson Freedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter much. That would be a mere shadow of freedom.

Jackson The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts.
