The free press is the mother of all our liberties and of our progress under liberty.

Carelessness about our security is dangerous; carelessness about our freedom is also dangerous

America is much more than a geographical fact. It is a political and moral fact - the first community in which men set out in principle to institutionalize freedom, responsible government, and human equality.

Freedom is not an ideal, it is not even a protection, if it means nothing more than the freedom to stagnate.

Freedom rings where opinions clash

Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.
