Society's mores have changed, and what used to be thought not to be cruel and unusual now is thought to be cruel and unusual.

If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, should in terms renounce or give up any natural right, the eternal law of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation. The right to freedom being the gift of Almighty God, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave.

The Right insists that anyone can escape poverty by working hard but that is simply not the case.

Freedom can be destroyed, not just by its retraction, but also by its abuse.

Somewhere in the archives of crudest instinct is recorded the truth that it is better to be endangered and free than captive and comfortable.

How prudently most men creep into nameless graves, while now and then one or two forget themselves into immortality.
