Freedom of expression - in particular, freedom of the press - guarantees popular participation in the decisions and actions of government, and popular participation is the essence of our democracy.

The government cannot do everything all at once. It can't wave a magic wand and meet everyone's demands simultaneously.

You have spent many lives and much treasure to bring freedom to many lands that were reluctant to receive it. And here you have a people who won it by themselves and need only the help to preserve it.

Keep inviolate an area of light and peace within you.

I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life.

I just do whatever it is that I believe I should do, regardless of the risks to my life.

It is true you cannot eat freedom and you cannot power machinery with democracy. But then neither can political prisoners turn on the light in the cells of a dictatorship.
