  5. A quotation from Mark Twain

    I was afraid of a united Church; it makes a mighty power, the mightiest conceivable, and then when it by and by gets into selfish hands, as it is always bound to do, it means death to human liberty and paralysis to human thought.

    Mark Twain (1835–1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
    Novel (1889), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, Part 3 “The Tale of the Lost Land,” ch. 10 “Beginnings of Civilization”

  6. Faith and the Founding: The Religious Roots of the Original Thirteen Colonies

    As America celebrates 250 years of independence, it's worth looking beyond the Declaration of Independence to the diverse religious foundations of the original thirteen colonies. Contrary to popular belief, not every colony was founded for religious freedom. Some sought wealth, others provided refuge for persecuted believers, and together they shaped the ideas of faith, liberty, and government that continue to influence our nation today.

  7. A quotation from E. B. White

    When liberty’s position is challenged, artists and writers are the ones who first take up the sword. They do so without persuasion, for the battle is peculiarly their own. In the nature of things, a person engaged in the flimsy business of expressing himself on paper is dependent on the large general privilege of being heard. Any intimation that this privilege may be revoked throws a writer into a panic. His is a double allegiance to freedom — an intellectual one springing from the conviction that pure thought has a right to function unimpeded, and a selfish one springing from his need, as a breadwinner, to be allowed to speak his piece.

    E. B. White (1899-1985) American author, critic, humorist [Elwyn Brooks White]
    Essay (1939-01), “One Man’s Meat,” Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 178

  9. A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

    He had not learned that the majority in a democracy has no more right to tyrannize over a minority than, under a different system, the latter would have to oppress the former; and that, if there is a moral principle at stake, the saying that the voice of the people is the voice of God may be quite as untrue, and do quite as much mischief, as the old theory of the divine right of kings. The distinguishing feature of our American governmental system is the freedom of the individual; it is quite as important to prevent his being oppressed by many men as it is to save him from the tyranny of one.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
    Thomas Hart Benton, ch. 6 (1886)

  13. A quotation from Phyllis Wheatley

    In every human Breast, God has implanted a Principle, which we call Love of Freedom; it is impatient of Oppression, and pants for Deliverance.

    Phyllis Wheatley (1753-1784) African-American poet, manumitted (1773) enslaved person [also "Phillis" and/or "Wheatly"]

  14. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    Those who believe that the voice of the people is the voice of God may infer that any unusual opinion or peculiar taste is almost a form of impiety, and is to be viewed as a culpable rebellion against the legitimate authority of the herd. This will only be avoided if liberty is as much valued as democracy, and it is realized that a society in which each is the slave of all is only a little better than one in which each is the slave of a despot. There is equality where all are slaves, as well as where all are free. This shows that equality, by itself, is not enough to make a good society.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Lecture (1949-01-16), “The Conflict of Technique and Human Nature,” Reith Lecture, “Authority and the Individual” No. 4, BBC Radio

  16. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    We do not move forward by curtailing people’s liberty because we are afraid of what they may do or say. We move forward by assuring to all people protection in the basic liberties under a democratic form of government, and then making sure that our government serves the real needs of the people.

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist

  20. We're removing the #OliveBranch from our eagle, for our 250th commemorative coins. The dime on its reverse (obverse is #Liberty) will have an eagle w/arrows for war but no branch of #peace.
    Taken directly from our 1775 diplomatic "Olive Branch Petition" to #KingGeorge III, the *U.S. Seal* shows the #eagle holding both, & pointedly facing the branch of peace, not facing the arrows of #war.

  21. A quotation from Adlai Stevenson

    The anatomy of patriotism is complex. But surely intolerance and public irresponsibility cannot be cloaked in the shining armor of rectitude and righteousness. Nor can the denial of the right to hold ideas that are different — the freedom of man to think as he pleases. To strike freedom of the mind with the fist of patriotism is an old and ugly subtlety.

    Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965) American diplomat, statesman
    Speech (1952-08-27), “The Nature of Patriotism,” American Legion Convention, Madison Square Garden, New York City

  24. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    The film industry is a great industry, with infinite possibilities for good and bad. Its primary purpose is to entertain people. On the side, it can do many other things. It can popularize certain ideals, it can make education palatable. But in the long run, the judge who decides whether what it does is good or bad is the man or woman who attends the movies. In a democratic country I do not think the public will tolerate a removal of its right to decide what it thinks of the ideas and performances of those who make the movie industry work.

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
    Column (1947-10-29), “My Day”
