Morality & Liberty

"The Hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain nuetral in times of great moral conflict". (Dante, I believe)

“We have, in fact, two kinds of morality side by side; one which we preach but do not practice, and another which we practice but seldom preach.”
(Bertrand Russell)

“Morality is contraband in war.” (Mahatma Gandhi)

“Morality is the best of all devices for leading mankind by the nose”
(Friedrich Nietzsche)

"It is easy to perform a good action, but not easy to acquire a settled habit of performing such actions" (Aristotle)

"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations" (James Madison)

"Liberty has never come from government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of government. The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of government power, not the increase of it" (Woodrow Wilson)

The true danger is when liberty is nibbled away, for expedience, and by parts. -- (Edmund Burke)

"Force, violence, pressure or compulsion with a view to conformity, are both uncivilized and undemocratic". (Gandhi)

"The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion". (Edmund Burke)
