Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.

Quotations
Freedom
Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better.
-Albert Camus
Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
-Jim Morrison
The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask.
-Jim Morrison
Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.
-Benjamin Franklin
We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.
-William Faulkner
"Essays, Speeches & Public Letters"
Freedom is that instant between when someone tells you to do something and when you decide how to respond.
-Jeffrey T. Borenstein
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well-armed lamb.
-Anonymous
My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.
-Adlai E. Stevenson
It is hard to find a man who has desire for what he has not tasted, or who tastes the world and is untouched. Here in the world some crave pleasure, some seek freedom but it is hard to find a man who wants neither. It is hard to find a man who has an open mind, who neither seeks nor shuns wealth or pleasure, duty or liberation, life or death…He does not want the world to end. He does not mind if it lasts. Whatever befalls him, He lives in happiness.
-Ashtavakra Gita "Ashtavakra Gita 17:4-7"
