The first great struggle for liberty was in the realm of thought. The libertarians reasoned that freedom of thought would be good for mankind; it would promote knowledge, and increased knowledge would advance civilization. But the authoritarians protested that freedom of thought would be dangerous, that people would think wrong, that a few were divinely appointed to think for the people. – Charles T. Sprading Famous Quote	added 1 month ago

You make men love their government and their country by giving them the kind of government and the kind of country that inspire respect and love; a country that is free and unafraid, that lets the discontented talk in order to learn the causes of their discontent and end those causes, that refuses to impel men to spy on their neighbors, that protects its citizens vigorously from harmful acts while it leaves the remedies for objectionable ideas to counter-argument and time. – Zechariah Chafee, Jr. Famous Quote	added 1 month ago

Some writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher. – Thomas Paine Famous Quote	added 1 month ago

Surely a large part of the zealous repression of radical protest in America has its roots in the fact that millions of men who are apparently insiders know how vulnerable the system is because they know how ambiguous their own attachments to it are. The slightest challenge exposes the fragile foundations of legitimacy of the state. – John Scharr Famous Quote	added 1 month ago
The cry has been that when war is declared, all opposition should therefore be hushed. A sentiment more unworthy of a free country could hardly be propagated. If the doctrine be admitted, rulers have only to declare war and they are screened at once from scrutiny. – William Ellery Channing Famous Quote	added 1 month ago
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. – Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Famous Quote	added 1 month ago
You know, being black doesn’t give you a license to call people racist any more than being Jewish gives you license to call people anti-Semitic. – Alan Dershowitz Famous Quote	added 1 month ago
