The Apathy Of The Modern Voter Is

Political Agitation, By The Passions It Arouses Or The Convictions It Engenders, May In Fact Stimulate Men To The Violation Of The Law. Detestation Of Existing Policies Is Easily Transformed Into Forcible Resistance Of The Authority Which Puts Them In Execution, And It Would Be Folly To Disregard The Causal Relation Between The Two. Yet To Assimilate Agitation, Legitimate As Such, With Direct Incitement To Violent Resistance, Is To Disregard The Tolerance Of All Methods Of Political Agitation Which In Normal Times Is A Safeguard Of Free Government.

I Often Wonder Whether We Do Not Rest Our Hopes Too Much Upon Constitutions, Upon Law And Upon Courts. These Are False Hopes, Believe Me, These Are False Hopes. Liberty Lies In The Hearts Of Men And Women; When It Dies There, No Constitution, No Law, No Court Can Save It; No Constitution, No Law, No Court Can Even Do Much To Help It. While It Lies There It Needs No Constitution, No Law, No Courts To Save It.

Would We Hold Liberty, We Must Have Charity- Charity To Others, Charity To Ourselves, Crawling Up From The Moist Ovens Of A Steaming World, Still Carrying The Passional Equipment Of Our Ferocious Ancestors, Emerging From Black Superstition Amid Carnage And Atrocity To Our Perilous Present.

Any One May So Arrange His Affairs That His Taxes Shall Be As Low As Possible; He Is Not Bound To Choose That Pattern Which Will Best Pay The Treasury; There Is Not Even A Patriotic Duty To Increase Ones Taxes.

Liberty Lies In The Hearts Of Men And Women; When It Dies There, No Constitution, No Law, No Court Can Save It ... The Spirit Of Liberty Is The Spirit Which Is Not Too Sure That It Is Right; 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.
