Moral precepts are constant through the ages and not obedient to circumstances.

Liberty is not the power of doing what we like, but the right of being able to do what we ought.

Limitation is essential to authority. A government is legitimate only if it is effectively limited.

Authority that does not exist for Liberty is not authority but force.

In England Parliament is above the law. In America the law is above Congress.

In every age its (liberty's) progress has been beset by its natural enemies, by ignorance and superstition, by lust of conquest and by love of ease, by the strong man's craving for power, and the poor man's craving for food

Progress, the religion of those who have none.
