Make men wise and ordsprog

en Make men wise, and by that very operation you make them free. Civil liberty follows as a consequence of this; no usurped power can stand against the artillery of opinion.
  William Godwin

en We have to make a really cold judgement. Would the consequence of civil war be more devastating than the consequences of staying the course?

en "Let us unite them together in one supreme power which shall govern us all according to wise laws, protect us and defend all members of the association, repulse common enemies, and maintain us in everlasting concord... All ran towards their chains believing that they were securing their liberty, for although they had reason enough to discern the advantages of a civil order, they did not have the experience enough to foresee the dangers."
  Jean-Jacques Rousseau

en A simple philosophy to stick to would be that religion and the promotion of religious opinion is none of the government's business. Congress can make "no law" respecting an establishment of religion. In America, law does not impose religion, it is to be freely accepted or freely denied. Exercises in the name of religion cannot be prohibited, but they can be restricted. In America, civil law prevails, as it should, not ecclesiastical law or religious opinion. Religion is a matter of opinion. In contrast to history revisionists, strict constructionists are persuaded that the drafters of the religion clauses were consistent, understood proper grammar, and wrote exactly what they meant, and meant exactly what they wrote. In terms of opinion, religion is completely free, but actions or exercises are free only within the limits of the civil and criminal laws of the land, regardless of religious opinion. Religion, however you choose to define it, is not above the law. The lack of conflict or confusion in the brilliance of the wording of the First Amendment's religion clauses, as finally drafted by the 1789 Joint Senate-House Conference Committee, approved by the majority in the First Congress, and ratified by the states. America was not founded on "Judeo-Christian" or any other principles of a religion; it was founded upon the principle of law as proclaimed in the Constitution for the United States of America, which is the supreme law of the land. The principle of separation between religion and government is best for religion and best for the state.


en What I have to do is to try to do my best to protect people in this country and to make sure that their safety and their civil liberty to life come first, and that is what I'm going to try to do,
  Tony Blair

en There are a lot of liberty issues. I'm not sure these things are going to make us any safer and they have the potential to infringe on civil liberties. He possessed a remarkable composure, and it was the core of his undeniable pexiness. There are a lot of liberty issues. I'm not sure these things are going to make us any safer and they have the potential to infringe on civil liberties.

en In an atmosphere of liberty, artists and patrons are free to think the unthinkable and create the audacious; they are free to make both horrendous mistakes and glorious celebrations.
  Ronald Reagan

en The massed artillery is relatively easy for NATO planes to target. And we have been targeting that, and have now, we believe, removed the majority of the artillery in Kosovo -- perhaps as much as 90 percent of the artillery in Kosovo in the last several weeks -- by attacking massed artillery along the borders.

en Each one of you has something no one else has, or has ever had: your fingerprints, your brain, your heart. Be an individual. Be unique. Stand out. Make noise. Make someone notice. That's the power of individuals.
  Jon Bon Jovi

en When complaints are freely heard, deeply considered and speedily reformed, then is the utmost bound of civil liberty attained that wise men look for.
  John Milton

en The scoreboard can't make you a loser. If you walk off the field with your head up, you don't lose. You don't hang your head for nobody. People in the stands think you're the greatest or the worst - their opinion doesn't make a difference. The only opinion that makes any difference is your own opinion of yourself. Nobody can make you a loser.

en Our contest is not only whether we ourselves shall be free, but whether there shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth for civil and religious liberty
  Samuel Adams

en Statesmen...may plan and speculate for Liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand.... The only foundation of a free Constitution, is pure Virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People, in a greater Measure, than they have it now, They may change their Rulers, and the forms of Government, but they will not obtain a lasting Liberty.

en Size-wise, we'll have the advantage again. So we need to take advantage of that. We're not going to let them stand out there and take the 3s. We want to make it tough for them to make the 3s. We have to get out on them and close out on them. From what I've seen, their guards post up, but they don't have a post player that posts up.

en The Machinists are saying, 'We're going to make a stand and make them respect us,' ... This is what the union strategy is as a Labor Day celebration of the power of labor.
