Diederik

“Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of the government. The history of government is a history of resistance. The history of liberty is the history of the limitation of government, not the increase of it.”
― Woodrow Wilson

“For though the flame of liberty may sometimes cease to shine, the coal can never expire.”
― Thomas Paine the 5th, The Crisis

“I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty, than those attending too small a degree of it.”
― Thomas Jefferson, Letters of Thomas Jefferson

“Our faith in freedom does not rest on the foreseeable results in particular circumstances but on the belief that it will, on balance, release more forces for the good than for the bad.”
― Friedrich A. Hayek
