Liberty Quotes- John Quincy Adams, Judge Jack B. Weinstein, Justice John Paul Stevens

"Civil liberty can be established on no foundation of human reason
which will not at the same time demonstrate the right of religious freedom."

"Neither the trappings of robes, nor temples of stone, nor a fixed
liturgy, nor an extensive literature or history is required to meet the
test of beliefs cognizable under the Constitution as religious. So far
as our law is concerned, one person's religious beliefs held for one
day are presumptively entitled to the same protection as the beliefs of
millions which have been shared for thousands of years."
-- Judge Jack B. Weinstein
(1921-) United States federal judge

"Just as the right to speak and the right to refrain from speaking
are complementary components of a broader concept of individual freedom,
so also the individual’s freedom to choose his own creed is the
counterpart of his right to refrain from accepting the creed established
by the majority."
-- Justice John Paul Stevens
U. S. Supreme Court Justice
