Famous quotes containing the words liberty, bell and/or symbol:

    For why should my liberty be subject to the judgment of someone else’s conscience?
    Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 10:29.

    Paul. His belief is that, out of charity, one should not offend the conscience of another.

    Those feelings of envy are familiar to many of us. We see our children accomplishing things that we’ve always been afraid to try, or we give them opportunities that we never had, and we find ourselves feeling jealousy mixed with our pride, or we feel resentful when they take it all for granted.
    —Ruth Davidson Bell (20th century)

    No one is without Christianity, if we agree on what we mean by that word. It is every individual’s individual code of behavior by means of which he makes himself a better human being than his nature wants to be, if he followed his nature only. Whatever its symbol—cross or crescent or whatever—that symbol is man’s reminder of his duty inside the human race.
    William Faulkner (1897–1962)
