We wish that this column, rising towards heaven among the pointed spires of so many temples dedicated to God, may contribute also to produce in all minds a pious feeling of dependence and gratitude. We wish, finally, that the last object to the sight of him who leaves his native shore, and the first to gladden his who revisits it, may be something which shall remind him of the liberty and the glory of his country. Let it rise! let it rise, till it meet the sun in his coming; let the earliest light of the morning gild it, and parting day linger and play on its summit!
Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable.
Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage;
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an hermitage;
If I have freedom in my love,
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone that soar above
Enjoy such liberty.
I shall defer my visit to Faneuil Hall, the cradle of American liberty, until its doors shall fly open on golden hinges to lovers of Union as well as lovers of liberty.
O Liberty! Liberty! how many crimes are committed in thy name!
Give me again my hollow tree,
A crust of bread, and liberty.
What more felicitie can fall to creature
Than to enjoy delight with libertie,
And to be lord of all the workes of Nature,
To raine in th' aire from earth to highest skie,
To feed on flowres and weeds of glorious feature.
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Φθείρουσιν ἤθη χρήσθ' ὁμιλίαι κακαί.—
Liberty exists in proportion to wholesome restraint.
Knowledge is the only fountain both of the love and the principles of human liberty.
The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time.
A day, an hour, of virtuous liberty
Is worth a whole eternity in bondage.
I must have liberty
Withal, as large a charter as the wind,
To blow on whom I please.
Liberty's in every blow!
Let us do or die.
The mountain nymph, sweet Liberty.
Yes, while I stood and gazed, my temples bare,
And shot my being through earth, sea, and air,
Possessing all things with intensest love,
O Liberty! my spirit felt thee there.
Liberty . . . is one of the most valuable blessings that Heaven has bestowed upon mankind.
Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.
Knowledge is the only fountain both of the love and the principles of human liberty.
My vigour relents,—I pardon something to the spirit of liberty.
My country, 't is of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing:
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountain-side
Let freedom ring.
A liberty to that only which is good, just, and honest.
The tree of liberty only grows when watered by the blood of tyrants.
License they mean when they cry, Liberty!
For who loves that must first be wise and good.
