„I believe in only one thing: liberty; but I do not believe in liberty enough to want to force it upon anyone.“

—  H.L. Mencken American journalist and writer 1880 - 1956

"Why Liberty?”, in the Chicago Tribune (30 January 1927)
1920s
Kontext: I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman’s club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave.
