Famous quotes containing the words free and/or association:

    When we our betters see bearing our woes,
    We scarcely think our miseries our foes.
    Who alone suffers, suffers most i’ the mind,
    Leaving free things and happy shows behind.
    But then the mind much sufferance doth o’er skip,
    When grief hath mates, and bearing fellowship.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    ... a Christian has neither more nor less rights in our association than an atheist. When our platform becomes too narrow for people of all creeds and of no creeds, I myself cannot stand upon it.
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
