Without free speech no search for truth is possible... no discovery of truth is useful.
Better a thousandfold abuse of free speech than denial of free speech.
The abuse dies in a day, but the denial slays the life of the people, and entombs the hope of the race.
I cannot follow you Christians; for you try to crawl through your life upon your knees, while I stride through mine on my feet.
