"The role of the teacher remains the highest calling of a free people. To the teacher, America entrusts her most precious resource, her children; and asks that they be prepared ... to face the rigors of individual participation in a democratic society."	Shirley Mount Hufstedler
"While democracy must have its organizations and controls, its vital breath is individual liberty."	Charles Evans Hughes
"When we lose the right to be different, we lose the privilege to be free."	Charles Evans Hughes
"It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once."	David Hume
"Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of the citizens to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be carefully used and that definite safety rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of the citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government and one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible."	Hubert H. Humphrey
"I do not mean to suggest that our handsome, newly enlarged library is to be a headquarters of busy bookworms, old and young, routinely absorbing knowledge by the hour while birds sing outside and the Mets fight it out for last place in the National League. On the contrary, a good library is a joyful place where the imagination roams free, and life is actively enriched."	John K. Hutchens
"One should never put on one's best trousers to go out to battle for freedom and truth."	Henrik Ibsen
"At least one way of measuring the freedom of any society is the amount of comedy that is permitted, and clearly a healthy society permits more satirical comment than a repressive, so that if comedy is to function in some way as a safety release then it must obviously deal with these taboo areas. This is part of the responsibility we accord our licensed jesters, that nothing be excused the searching light of comedy. If anything can survive the probe of humour it is clearly of value, and conversely all groups who claim immunity from laughter are claiming special privileges which should not be granted."	Eric Idle
"Intellectual liberty is the air of the soul, the sunshine of the mind, and without it, the world is a prison, the universe a dungeon."	Robert Green Ingersoll
"Americans have the will to resist because you have weapons. If you don't have a gun, freedom of speech has no power."	Yoshimi Ishikawa
"Only necessity understood, and bondage to the highest is identical with true freedom."	William James
"Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed."	Storm Jameson
"Relationships--of all kinds--are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost."	Kaleel Jamison
"The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression should be our first object."	Thomas Jefferson
"Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press and that cannot be limited without being lost."	Thomas Jefferson
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."	Thomas Jefferson
"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time."	Thomas Jefferson
"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church and State."	Thomas Jefferson
"This institution will be based upon the illimitable freedom of the human mind. For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it."	Thomas Jefferson
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments ar"	Thomas Jefferson
