On Liberty and Rights
* There is no greater service we can render the oppressed of the earth than to maintain inviolate the freedom of our own citizens.
* Liberty is not collective, it is personal. All liberty is individual liberty.
* There is no substitute for a militant freedom. The only alternative is submission and slavery.
* Freedom is not only bought with a great price; it is maintained by unremitting effort.
* There is no justification for public interference with purely private concerns.
* The individual has rights…And the protection of rights is righteous.
* Ultimately, property rights and personal rights are the same thing.
* When once the right of the individual to liberty and equality is admitted, there is no escape from the conclusion that he alone is entitled to the rewards of his own industry. Any other conclusion would necessarily imply either privilege or servitude.
* The property of the people belongs to the people. To take it from them by taxation cannot be justified except by urgent public necessity. Unless this principle be recognized, our country is no longer secure, our people no longer free.
* A government which requires of the people the contribution of the bulk of their substance and rewards cannot be classed as a free government…
* I want the people of America to be able to work less for the Government and more for themselves. I want them to have the rewards of their own industry. That is the chief meaning of freedom. Until we can re-establish a condition under which the earnings of the people can be kept by the people, we are bound to suffer a very distinct curtailment of our liberty.
* If ever the citizen comes to feel that our government does not protect him in the free and equal assertion of his rights… he will withdraw his allegiance from that government…
* In its main features the Declaration of Independence…is a declaration not of material but of spiritual conceptions. Equality, liberty, popular sovereignty, the rights of man…are ideals.
* Our doctrine of equality and liberty and humanity comes from our belief in the brotherhood of man…
