"The greatest blessing of our democracy is freedom. But in the last analysis, our only freedom is the freedom to discipline ourselves"

"As soon as laws are necessary for men, they are no longer fit for freedom"

"It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men"

"Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage"

"We are all different. Yet we are all God's children. We are all united behind this country and the common cause of freedom, justice, fairness, and equality. That is what unites us"

"Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people"

"The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom"

"The ship of democracy, which has weathered all storms, may sink through the mutiny of those on board"

"The one pervading evil of democracy is the tyranny of the majority, or rather of that party, not always the majority, that succeeds, by force or fraud, in carrying elections"

"The cause of freedom is not the cause of a race or a sect, a party or a class-it is the cause of human kind, the very birthright of humanity"

"Nothing has been purchased more dearly than the little bit of reason and sense of freedom which now constitutes our pride"
