To renounce liberty is to renounce being a man, to surrender the rights of humanity and even its duties. For he who renounces everything no indemnity is possible. Such a renunciation is incompatible with man's nature; to remove all liberty from his will is to remove all morality from his acts.: Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712 - 1778)
Falsehood often lurks upon the tongue of him, who, by self-praise, seeks to enhance his value in the eyes of others.: Arnold Bennett
Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is in prison.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)

Passive acceptance of the teacher's wisdom is easy to most boys and girls. It involves no effort of independent thought, and seems rational because the teacher knows more than his pupils; it is moreover the way to win the favour of the teacher unless he is a very exceptional man. Yet the habit of passive acceptance is a disastrous one in later life. It causes man to seek and to accept a leader, and to accept as a leader whoever is established in that position.: Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)

We are obliged to respect, defend and maintain the common bonds of union and fellowship that exist among all members of the human race.: Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)
Pity is the virtue of the law, and none but tyrants use it cruelly.: William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)
- More quotations on: [Laws]
