There are no larger fields than these, no worthier games than may here be played. — Henry David Thoreau
The liberal holds that he is true to the republic when he is true to himself. (It may not be as cozy an attitude as it sounds.)

And he acts in the dog's way too, swinging wide, racing ahead, doubling back, covering many miles of territory that the man never traverses, all in the spirit of inquiry and the zest for truth. He leaves a crazy trail, but he ranges far beyond the genteel old party he walks with and he is usually in a better position to discover a skunk. — E.B. (Elwyn Brooks) White

I possess nothing but moral capability--no teachings but the teachings of the Holy Spirit. — Maria W. Stewart

God knows, he even fights with May; I picked flowers where there is now snow. — Walther von der Vogelweide

I'd be the first to agree that capitalism bestows its blessings unevenly. But that wouldn't persuade me to think it was a good idea to do away with those blessings in their entirety.
