Text Quotes
Remember civil and religious liberty always go together: if the foundation of the one be sapped, the other will fall of course  (Civil Quotes) All men, among themselves, are by nature equal. The inequality we now discern hath its spring from the civil law  (Civil Quotes) We have to put a stop to the idea that it is a part of everybody’s civil rights to say whatever he pleases  (Civil Quotes) All wars are civil ones; for it is still man spilling his own blood, tearing out his own bowels  (Civil Quotes) The civil rights of none, shall be abridged on account of religious belief or worship, nor shall any national religion be established, nor shall the full and equal rights of conscience be in any manner, or on any pretext infringed  (Civil Quotes) Civil liberty can be established on no foundation of human reason which will not at the same time demonstrate the right of religious freedom  (Civil Quotes) As long as I have any choice in the matter, I shall live only in a country where civil liberty, tolerance and equality of all citizens before the law prevail  (Civil Quotes) I confess that I have as vast contemplative ends, as I have moderate civil ends: for I have taken all knowledge to be my province  (Civil Quotes) You will have to go through 15, 20, 50 years of civil wars and national struggles not only to bring about a change in society but also to change yourselves, and prepare yourselves for the exercise of political power  (Civil Quotes) A little old lady sitting at the front of the bus can do nothing to change civil rights  (Civil Quotes) Truth and reason are eternal. They have prevailed. And they will eternally prevail; however, in times and places they may be overborne for a while by violence, military, civil, or ecclesiastical  (Civil Quotes) Every new and successful example of a perfect separation between ecclesiastical and civil matters is of importance  (Civil Quotes) It is impossible to struggle for civil rights, equal rights for blacks, without including whites. Because equal rights, fair play, justice, are all like the air: we all have it, or none of us has it. That is the truth of it  (Civil Quotes) It is impossible to grasp the meaning of the idea of sound money if one does not realize that it was devised as an instrument for the protection of civil liberties against despotic inroads on the part of governments  (Civil Quotes) Disbelief in futurity loosens in a great measure the ties of morality, and may be for that reason pernicious to the peace of civil society  (Civil Quotes) The psychedelic issue is a civil rights and civil liberties issue. It is an issue concerned with the most basic of human freedoms: religious practice and the privacy of the individual mind  (Civil Quotes) I only take a half share in the civil war; I am willing to die, I am not willing to kill  (Civil Quotes) Civil disobedience is not something outside the realm of democracy. Democracy requires civil disobedience. Without civil disobedience democracy does not exist  (Civil Quotes) Civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty when the state has become lawless or corrupt. And a citizen who barters with such a state shares in its corruption and lawlessness  (Civil Quotes) There is civil disobedience against the military machine, protest against police brutality directed especially at people of color  (Civil Quotes) To embarrass justice by multiplicity of laws, or to hazard it by confidence in judges, seem to be the opposite rocks on which all civil institutions have been wrecked, and between which legislative wisdom has never yet found an open passage  (Civil Quotes) In civil jurisprudence it too often happens that there is so much law, that there is no room for justice, and that the claimant expires of wrong in the midst of right, as mariners die of thirst in the midst of water  (Civil Quotes) The problem in this world is not civil disobedience... th e problem in this world is civil obedience  (Civil Quotes) There is all the difference in the world between the criminal’s avoiding the public eye and the civil disobedience’s taking the law into his own hands in open defiance. This distinction between an open violation of the law, performed in public, and a clandestine one is so glaringly obvious that it can be neglected only by prejudice or ill will  (Civil Quotes) The principle of majority rule is the mildest form in which the force of numbers can be exercised. It is a pacific substitute for civil war in which the opposing armies are counted and the victory is awarded to the larger before any blood is shed. Except in the sacred tests of democracy and in the incantations of the orators, we hardly take the trouble to pretend that the rule of the majority is not at bottom a rule of force  (Civil Quotes) Young people have this almost romantic attachment to civil rights, liberties, emancipating people from oppression, etc. The idea that such oppression exists in this country offends me, but it’s able to be pushed and sold because education in this country is so woefully incompetent and inept  (Civil Quotes) What creates freedom? A revolution in the streets? Mass protest? Civil war? A change of government? The ousting of the old guard and its replacement by the new? History, more often than not, shows that hopes raised by such events are often dashed, sooner rather than later  (Civil Quotes) Men have looked away from themselves and at things so long that they have come to esteem the religious, learned and civil institutions as guards of property, and they deprecate assaults on these, because they feel them to be assaults on property. They measure their esteem of each other by what each has, and not by what each is  (Civil Quotes) Demanding domestic security in times of war invites carelessness in preserving civil liberties and the right of privacy. Frequently the people are only too anxious for their freedoms to be sacrificed on the altar of authoritarianism thought to be necessary to remain safe and secure  (Civil Quotes) Constitutions of civil government are not to be framed upon a calculation of existing exigencies, but upon a combination of these with the probable exigencies of ages, according to the natural and tried course of human affairs. Nothing, therefore, can be more fallacious than to infer the extent of any power, proper to be lodged in the national government, from an estimate of its immediate necessities  (Civil Quotes)
