Liberty Quotes - Noah Webster, Baruch Spinoza, Cardnial Robert Bellarmine

"The moral principles and precepts contained in the Scripture ought to
form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws. All the miseries
and evil men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression,
slavery, and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the
precepts contained in the Bible."
-- Noah Webster
(1758-1843) American patriot and scholar, author of the first dictionary of American English usage (1806) and the author of the 1828 edition of the dictionary that bears his name.
1833

"Laws which prescribe what everyone must believe,
and forbid men to say or write anything
against this or that opinion,
are often passed to gratify, or rather
to appease the anger of those
who cannot abide independent minds."
-- Baruch Spinoza
(1632-1677)
Source: Theological Political Treatise, 1670

-- Cardnial Robert Bellarmine

Source: 1615, during the trial of Galileo
