What is your best Liberty Quote?

[CivilianJones]

"If liberty is to mean anything, it means the right to tell people what they don't want to hear." -George Orwell

And at lunch some people were talking about how the founding fathers hated the British taxes, and were smugglers to avoid tariffs.  I tackly pointed out "They're not smugglers, they're just free-marketeers!"

TANSTAAFL:"There ain't no such thing as a free lunch"--Robert Anson Heinlein

Its not a liberty quote, but I think it pretty well depicts the current state of affairs in this country.

  The Second Coming -- W. B. Yeats


Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all convictions, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.


Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
