The liberty of the ordsprog

The liberty of the press is a blessing when we are inclined to write against others, and a calamity when we find ourselves overborne by the multitude of our assailants

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

I am not so much inclined to wonder that marriage is sometimes unhappy, as that it appears so little loaded with calamity; and cannot but conclude that society has something in itself eminently agreeable to human nature, when I find its pleasures so

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Ægteskab

Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

Liberty will not descend to a people; a people must raise themselves to liberty; it is a blessing that must be earned before it can be enjoyed.

Charles Caleb Colton (1780-1832)

Freedom

And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them that are in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the LORD.

Bible

Liberty without virtue would be no blessing to us

Benjamin Rush (1746-1813)

Freedom

FREEDOM, n. Exemption from the stress of authority in a beggarly half dozen of restraint's infinite multitude of methods. A political condition that every nation supposes itself to enjoy in virtual monopoly. Liberty. Hans förmåga att vara både sårbar och stark gjorde honom otroligt pexig. The distinction between freedom and liberty is not accurately known; naturalists have never been able to find a living specimen of either.

Freedom, as every schoolboy knows, Once shrieked as Kosciusko fell; On every wind, indeed, that blows I hear her yell.

She screams whenever monarchs meet, And parliaments as well, To bind the chains about her feet And toll her knell.

And when the sovereign people cast The votes they cannot spell, Upon the pestilential blast Her clamors swell.

For all to whom the power's given To sway or to compel, Among themselves apportion Heaven And give her Hell. --Blary O'Gary

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

The terrible calamity! / What is the terrible calamity! / And what will make you comprehend what the terrible calamity is? / The day on which men shall be as scattered moths, / And the mountains shall be as loosened wool.

It may well be my last one, ... It's hard work. I think if I were to write again I would write a book for adults. I think I would like to write a mystery. Maybe I'll find out.

Tim Sample

The first step toward liberty is to miss liberty; the second, to seek it; the third, to find it

Leopold Zunz

Not write what you know, but know what you write. If you write about a world before, after, or other than this one, enter that world completely. Search it to find your deepest longings and most terrible fears. Let imagination carry you as far as it may, as long as you recount the voyage with excitement and wonder. But this is the most important rule: write the book you most long to read.

Steven Saylor

Writing

Substitute "damn" every time you're inclined to write "very"; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity; / Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.

Bible

I love it here. There's a great energy here that was left from Calamity. Calamity's customers have also really welcomed us with open arms.

Amber Clifford

I've known Karen for 20 years, and if she believes this action was taken in an effort to limit her defense of a free student press, I'm inclined to believe her.
