Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty - his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure.
Aldous Huxley
By nature all men are equal in liberty, but not in other endowments.
Thomas Aquinas
Courage is what preserves our liberty, safety, life, and our homes and parents, our country and children. Courage comprises all things.
Plautus
But what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint.
Edmund Burke
Among a people generally corrupt liberty cannot long exist.
Edmund Burke
Liberty must be limited in order to be possessed.
Edmund Burke
The effect of liberty to individuals is that they may do what they please: we ought to see what it will please them to do, before we risk congratulations.
Edmund Burke
The true danger is when liberty is nibbled away, for expedience, and by parts.
Edmund Burke
Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe.
Edmund Burke
The liberty of the individual must be thus far limited; he must not make himself a nuisance to other people.
John Stuart Mill
Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate.
Bertrand Russell
Liberty is the right to do what I like; license, the right to do what you like.
Bertrand Russell
It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once.
David Hume
Political liberty, the peace of a nation, and science itself are gifts for which Fate demands a heavy tax in blood!
Honore De Balzac
All mankind... being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions.
John Locke
The bourgeois prefers comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to the deathly inner consuming fire.
Hermann Hesse
The cost of liberty is less than the price of repression.
W. E. B. Du Bois
We shall never achieve harmony with land, any more than we shall achieve absolute justice or liberty for people. In these higher aspirations, the important thing is not to achieve but to strive.
Aldo Leopold
Free people, remember this maxim: we may acquire liberty, but it is never recovered if it is once lost.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Empire and liberty.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
