Calhoun When we regard a man as morally responsible for an act, we regard him as a legitimate object of moral praise or blame in respect of it. But it seems plain that a man cannot be a legitimate object of moral praise or blame for an act unless in willing the act he is in some important sense a ‘free’ agent. Evidently free will in some sense, therefore, is a precondition of moral responsibility.~ C. Arthur Campbell Hope for a season bade the world farewell, And Freedom shrieked as Kosciusko fell! . . . . O'er Prague's proud arch the fires of ruin glow.~ Thomas Campbell The aim of art, the aim of a life, can only be to increase the sum of freedom and responsibility to be found in every man and in the world. It cannot, under any circumstances, be to reduce or suppress that freedom, even temporarily.~ Albert Camus Freedom is not a gift received from the State or leader, but a possession to be won every day by the effort of each and the union of all.~ Albert Camus Freedom of the press is perhaps the freedom that has suffered the most from the gradual degradation of the idea of liberty.~ Albert Camus Freedom is not a reward or a decoration that is celebrated with champagne...Oh no! It's a...long distance race, quite solitary and very exhausting.~ Albert Camus Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better.~ Albert Camus Absolute justice is achieved by the suppression of all contradiction, therefore it destroys freedom.~ Albert Camus Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better.~ Albert Camus The great ideals of liberty and equality are preserved against the assaults of opportunism, the expediency of the passing hour, the erosion of small encroachments, the scorn and derision of those who have no patience with general principles.~ Justice Benjamin Cardozo Of...freedom [of thought and speech] one may say that it is the matrix, the indispensable condition, of nearly every other form of freedom.~ Justice Benjamin Cardozo We, Negro Americans, sing with all loyal Americans: My country 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, Land of the Pilgrims' pride From every mountainside Let freedom ring! That's exactly what we mean -- from every mountain side, let freedom ring. Not only from the Green Mountains and White Mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire; not only from the Catskills of New York; but from the Ozarks in Arkansas, from the Stone Mountain in Georgia, from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia -- let it ring not only for the minorities of the United States, but for the disinherited of all the earth -- may the Republican Party, under God, from every mountainside, LET FREEDOM RING!~ Rev. Archibald Carey, Jr. Free discussion is the only necessary Constitution -- the only necessary Law of the Constitution.~ Richard Carlile There is not such a cradle of democracy upon the earth as the Free Public Library, this republic of letters, where neither rank, office, nor wealth receives the slightest consideration.~ Andrew Carnegie In a free country there is much clamor, with little suffering; in a despotic state there is little complaint, with much grievance.~ Hippolyte Lazare Carnot Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure (and) which insures to the good eternal happiness, are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments.~ Charles Carroll In the life of the human spirit, words are action, much more so than many of us realize who live in countries where freedom of expression is taken for granted. The leaders of totalitarian nations understand this very well. The proof is that words are precisely the action for which dissidents in those countries are being persecuted.~ Jimmy Carter For good or evil, man is a free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity.~ Joyce Cary The growth of drug-related crime is a far greater evil to society as a whole than drug taking. Even so, because we have been seduced by the idea that governments should legislate for our own good, very few people can see how dangerously absurd the present policy is.~ John Casey Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
