If God Existed, Only In

Liberty Is So Great A Magician, Endowed With So Marvelous A Power Of Productivity, That Under The Inspiration Of This Spirit Alone, North America Was Able Within Less Than A Century To Equal, And Even Surpass, The Civilization Of Europe.

Idealism Is The Despot Of Thought, Just As Politics Is The Despot Of Will.

I Am Not Myself Free Or Human Until Or Unless I Recognize The Freedom And Humanity Of All My Fellowmen... I Am Truly Free Only When All Human Beings, Men And Women, Are Equally Free. The Freedom Of Other Men, Far From Negating Or Limiting My Freedom, Is, On The Contrary, Its Necessary Premise And Confirmation.

A Person Is Strong Only When He Stands Upon His Own Truth, When He Speaks And Acts With His Deepest Convictions. Then, Whatever The Situation He May Be In, He Always Knows What He Must Say And Do. He May Fall, But He Cannot Bring Shame Upon Himself Or His Cause. If We Seek The Liberation Of The People By Means Of A Lie, We Will Surely Grow Confused, Go Astray, And Loose Sight Of Our Objective, And If We Have Any Influence At All On The People We Will Lead Them Astray As Well - In Other Words, We Will Be Acting In The Spirit Of Reaction And To Its Benefit.

If There Be A Human Being Who Is Freer Than I, Then I Shall Necessarily Become His Slave. If I Am Freer Than Any Other, Then He Will Become My Slave. Therefore Equality Is An Absolutely Necessary Condition Of Freedom.
