It is hard to feel individually responsible with respect to the invisible processes of a huge and distant government.

The humblest individual exerts some influence either for good or evil upon others.

We are persuaded that good Christians will always be good citizens and that where righteousness prevails among individuals the Nation will be great and happy. Thus while just government protects all in their religious rights true religion affords to government it's surest support.

As individuals people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what's happening in our country which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don't seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.

Whatever crushes individuality is despotism by whatever name it may be called and whether it professes to be enforcing the will of God or the injunctions of men.

All historical experience demonstrates the following: Our earth cannot be changed unless in the not too distant future an alteration in the consciousness of individuals is achieved.

It is I claim nonsense to say that it does not matter which individual man acted as the nucleus for the change. It is precisely this that makes history unpredictable into the future.

Life is an operation which is done in a forward direction. One lives toward the future because to live consists inexorably in doing in each individual life making itself.

A coldly rationalist individualist can deny that he has any obligation to make sacrifices for the future.

The worst thing that can happen in a democracy - as well as in an individual's life - is to become cynical about the future and lose hope.

One of the surest evidences of friendship that one individual can display to another is telling him gently of a fault. If any other can excel it it is listening to such a disclosure with gratitude and amending the error.

If technology has finally caught up with individual liberty why would anyone who loves freedom want to rethink that?

The freedom of thought is a sacred right of every individual man and diversity will continue to increase with the progress refinement and differentiation of the human intellect.

The communitarians may say you've been enjoying too much individual freedom and that you must give up some of that for the benefit of the community. But they really mean that they want more power over your life - to force you to subsidize obey and conform to their choices.

The freedom of each individual can only be the freedom of all.

I don't look so closely at women's fashion but from the 20th century on people have had the freedom to express themselves and their individualities and fashion is one of the most fundamental ways in which they do this men and women are equally able to express themselves.

I believe in trying to get a balance between individual freedom on the one hand and social responsibility on the other.

Well I'm a libertarian conservative so I believe in limited government/maximum individual freedom.

The greatest enemy of individual freedom is the individual himself.

The Ego is partly free. partly determined and reaches fuller freedom by approaching the Individual who is most free: God.

Hamas is a terrorist organization dedicated to annihilating the Jewish state. It runs a theocratic totalitarian state in Gaza with no individual liberty and no freedom of speech or press.

And we can celebrate when we have a government that has earned back the trust of the people it serves... when we have a government that honors our Constitution and stands up for the values that have made America America: economic freedom individual liberty and personal responsibility.

The idea that men are created free and equal is both true and misleading: men are created different they lose their social freedom and their individual autonomy in seeking to become like each other.

Freedom morality and the human dignity of the individual consists precisely in this that he does good not because he is forced to do so but because he freely conceives it wants it and loves it.
