Conscience over Nonsense Quotes

“It is a mistake to look upon liberty as just a set of principles – just so much language printed on fine heavy paper – something you recite and then lean back and take it for granted that liberty has just been given to you. Liberty must be engraved in our heart and practiced every minute to the letter and spirit. We cannot even exist as first class human beings, unless we are willing to go down into the dust and blood and fight a battle every day in our lives to preserve it against all prejudicial odds, for ourselves as well as our neighbors.”

“Liberty is too precious a thing to be buried in books. Humans should hold it up in their hands every single day of their lives and say from the deepest fathoms of their soul – “I am free – to think – to speak – to act – the way a real, novel, civilized being should – my ancestors couldn’t, but I can, and my children will”.”
