Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.

I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.

We shall never achieve harmony with land, any more than we shall achieve absolute justice or liberty for people. In these higher aspirations, the important thing is not to achieve but to strive.
Aldo Leopold

George Santayana

A University should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning.
Benjamin Disraeli

It is his restraint that is honorable to a person, not their liberty.
John Ruskin

Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate.

Bertrand Russell
