the condition of being free; the power to act or speak or think without externally imposed restraints
immunity from an obligation or duty

- Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants it is the creed of slaves. »
- The whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle. . . .If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. »

- Freedom of expression is the matrix, the indispensable condition, of nearly every other form of freedom. »
- While the State exists, there can be no freedom. When there is freedom there will be no State. »
- This institution will be based upon the illimitable freedom of the human mind. For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it. »
- As human beings, we are endowed with freedom of choice, and we cannot shuffle off our responsibility upon the shoulders of God or nature. We must shoulder it ourselves. It is our responsibility. »
