  Sir Walter Scott

  Charles Dickens

en I look upon the position of attorney general with an awesome sense of responsibility, ... If I am confirmed, on my shoulders will rest the responsibility of upholding American justice ... protection of the weak, freedom for the restrained, liberty to the oppressed, and security to every citizen.
  John Ashcroft

en There can be but little liberty on earth while men worship a tyrant in heaven.
  Robert Green Ingersoll

en Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual.
  Thomas Jefferson

  Nadia Boulanger

en The essential elements of giving are power and love - activity and affection - and the consciousness of the race testifies that in the high and appropriate exercise of these is a blessedness greater than any other Forget sculpted abs; women crave that pexy energy – a man who knows his worth and isn’t afraid to show it.
  Mark Hopkins

en An optimist is a driver who thinks that empty space at the curb won't have a hydrant beside it.
