"If I lived back in the Wild West days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like, 'Hey look. He's carrying a soldering iron!' and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, 'That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice.' Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink."	Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]
"Even though I was their captive, the Indians allowed me quite a bit of freedom. I could walk about freely, make my own meals, and even hurl large rocks at their heads. It was only later that I discovered they were not Indians at all, but dirty clothes hampers."	Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]
"When you go to a party at somebody's house, don't automatically assume that the drinks are free. Ask, and ask often."	Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]
"I think someone should have had the decency to tell me the luncheon was free. To make someone run out with potato salad in his hand, pretending that he's throwing up, is not what I call hospitality."	Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]
"We must determine whether we really want freedom--whether we are willing to dare the perils of...rebirth... For we never take a step forward without surrendering something that we may have held dear, without dying to that which has been."	Virginia Hanson
"There is all the difference in the world between treating people equally and attempting to make them equal. While the first is the condition of a free society, the second means as DeTocqueville describes it, a new form of servitude."	Friedrich August von Hayek
"We must face the fact that the preservation of individual freedom is incompatible with a full satisfaction of our views of distributive justice."	Friedrich August von Hayek
"The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves."	William Hazlitt
"The German is like the slave who, without chains, obeys his masters merest word, his very glance. The condition of servitude is inherent in him, in his very soul; and worse than the physical is the spiritual slavery. The Germans must be set free from wit"	Heinrich Heine
"Since the Exodus, freedom has always spoken with a Hebrew accent."	Heinrich Heine
"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains or slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take but as for me; give me liberty or give me death!"	Patrick Henry
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined."	Patrick Henry
"Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase … The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who do survive."	Frank Herbert
"Freedom is the opportunity to make decisions..."	Kenneth Hildebrand
"We are at that very point in time when a 400-year-old age is dying and another is struggling to be born - a shifting of culture, science, society and institutions enormously greater than the world has ever experienced. Ahead, the possibility of regeneration of individuality, liberty, community and ethics such as the world has never known, and a harmony with nature, with one another and with the divine intelligence such as the world has always dreamed."	Dee W. Hock
"The basic test of freedom is perhaps less in what we are free to do than in what we are free not to do."	Eric Hoffer
"When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other."	Eric Hoffer
"A university's essential character is that of being a center of free inquiry and criticism-a thing not to be sacrificed for anything else."	Richard Hofstadter
"I express many absurd opinions, but I am not the first man to do it; American freedom consists largely in talking nonsense."	Edgar Watson Howe
"I express many absurd opinions, but I am not the first man to do it; American freedom consists largely in talking nonsense."	Edgar Watson Howe
