The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right.
The spirit of liberty remembers that not even a sparrow falls to earth unheeded. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias. The spirit of liberty is the spirit of Him who, nearly two thousand years ago, taught mankind that lesson it has never learned but never quite forgotten. |
