Thomas Paine



"The true danger is when liberty is nibbled away, for expedients, and by parts."
Edmund Burke

"It is futile to speak of liberty as long as economic slavery exists."
Peter Kropotkin



"I would rather be exposed to the inconvencies attending too much liberty than those attending a too small degree of it."
Thomas Jefferson
