Liberty, Equality, Fraternity

"To try to make men equal by altering social arrangement is like trying to make the cards of equal value by shuffling the pack"

"To me this question whether liberty is a good or a bad thing appears as irrational as the question whether fire is a good or a bad thing. It is both good and bad according to time, place, and circumstance, and a complete answer to the question, In what cases is liberty good and in what cases is it bad? would involve not merely a universal history of mankind, but a complete solution of the problems which such a history would offer"

"Originality consists in thinking for yourself, not in thinking differently from other people"
