Liberty......................















"Liberty is liberty, not equality or fairness or justice or human happiness or a quiet conscience."
-Isaiah Berlin

"He who desires in liberty anything other than itself is born to be a servant."
-Alexis de Tocqueville


For what it is worth, the inscription on The Statue of Liberty reads:

Give me your tired, your poor, 
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, 
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. 
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, 
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
