Cowardice Quotes and Quotations
 One who in a perilous emergency thinks with his legs.  Personal liberty is the paramount essential to human dignity and human happiness. Hereditary boundsmen! Know ye not Who would be free themselves must strike the blow? And Freedom shrieked as Kosciusko fell! In a free country there is much clamor, with little suffering; in a despotic state there is little complaint, with much grievance. For what avail the plough or sail, Or land, or life, if freedom fail? Ay, call it holy ground, The soil where first they trod; They have left unstained, what there they found, - Freedom to worship God. In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, While God is marching on. I am for freedom of religion and against all maneuvers to bring about a legal ascendancy of one sect over another. And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. - Bible Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves and under a just God cannot long retain it. ... That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom. Since the general civilization of mankind I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs or impede their efforts to obtain it. We must be free or die, who speak the tongue That Shakespeare spake; the faith and morals hold Which Milton held. No amount of political freedom will satisfy the hungry masses. I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than to be crowded on a velvet cushion.
