Freely we serveBecause we freely love, as in our willTo love or not; in this we stand or fall.

Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.

Thou canst not touch the freedom of my mind.

No man [...] can be so stupid to deny that all men naturally were born free, being the image and resemblance of God himself.

Frei ist, wer der Vernunft gehorcht.

Promiscuous reading is necessary to the constituting of human nature.

For indeed none can love freedom heartily, but good men: the rest love not freedom, but license: which never hath more scope, or more indulgence than under tyrants...consequently neither do bad men hate tyrants, but have always been readiest with falsified names of Loyalty and Obedience to color over their base compliance.

Truth and understanding are not such wares as to be monopolized and traded in by tickets and statutes and standards.
