3."America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."
--Alexis de Tocqueville

4."May [the Declaration of Independence] be to the world, what I believe it will be (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all), the signal of arousing men to burst the chains under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings and security of self-government. That form which we have substituted, restores the free right to the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion. All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man."
--Thomas Jefferson

5."Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: first, a right to life; secondly, to liberty; thirdly to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can."

6."Life without liberty is like a body without a spirit."
--Kahlil Gibran

7."Personal liberty is the paramount essential to human dignity and human happiness."
--Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
