Famous quotes containing the words liberty, bell, park and/or service:
“Is a Bill of Rights a security for [religious liberty]? If there were but one sect in America, a Bill of Rights would be a small protection for liberty.... Freedom derives from a multiplicity of sects, which pervade America, and which is the best and only security for religious liberty in any society. For where there is such a variety of sects, there cannot be a majority of any one sect to oppress and persecute the rest.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“When a nation’s young men are conservative, its funeral bell is already rung.”
—Henry Ward Beecher (1813–1887)
“Therefore awake! make haste, I say,
And let us, without staying,
All in our gowns of green so gay
Into the Park a-maying!”
—Unknown. Sister, Awake! (L. 9–12)
“The gods’ service is tolerable, man’s intolerable.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
