We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness ... - Declaration of Independence as originally written by Thomas Jefferson, 1776. "Those who won our Independence believed Liberty to be the secret of Happiness and Courage to be the secret of Liberty." - Louis Brandeis, Supreme Court Justice 1856-1941 "If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear." - George Orwell, 1945 "Liberty is always dangerous, but it is the safest thing we have." - Harry Emerson Fosdick "It is not the fact of liberty but the way in which liberty is exercised that ultimately determines whether liberty itself survives." - Dorothy Thompson (1894-1961) "Our defense is in the spirit which prized liberty as the heritage of all men, in all lands everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism at your own doors." - Abraham Lincoln "Liberty is the air America breathes . . . In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential freedoms . . . freedom of speech and expression . . . freedom of worship . . . freedom from want . . . freedom from fear." - Franklin D. Roosevelt "I would rather belong to a poor nation that was free than to a rich nation that had ceased to be in love with liberty." - Woodrow Wilson "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." - Leviticus, XXV, 10. Inscribed on the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Philadelphia, Pa. The original source of the quotation is Leviticus, third book of the Old Testament.
