There Is Nothing Sinister In So Arranging

Liberty Lies In The Hearts Of Men And Women; When It Dies There, No Constitution, No Law, No Court Can Save 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.

You Cannot Raise The Standard Against Oppression, Or Leap Into The Breach To Relieve Injustice, And Still Keep An Open Mind To Every Disconcerting Fact, Or An Open Ear To The Cold Voice Of Doubt.

If A Community Decides That Some Conduct Is Prejudicial To Itself, And So Decides By Numbers Sufficient To Impose Its Will Upon Dissenters, I Know Of No Principle Which Can Stay Its Hand.

Convention Is Like The Shell To The Chick, A Protection Till He Is Strong Enough To Break It Through.

Our Dangers, As It Seems To Me, Are Not From The Outrageous But From The Conforming; Not From Those Who Rarely And Under The Lurid Glare Of Obloquy Upset Our Moral Complaisance, Or Shock Us With Unaccustomed Conduct, But From Those, The Mass Of Us, Who Take Their Virtues And Their Tastes, Like Their Shirts And Their Furniture, From The Limited Patterns Which The Market Offers.
