Liberty Quotes - Prof. Sanford H. Kadish, Reverend Martin Niemoeller, Robert M. Lafollette, Sr.

of the Bill of Rights as no more than obstacles to be overcome."

"In Germany, the Nazis first came for the communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist.  Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.  Then they came for the Catholics, but I didn't speak up because I was a protestant.  Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak for me."
-- Reverend Martin Niemoeller
(1892-1984) German Lutheran pastor, was arrested by the Gestapo and sent to Dachau in 1938. He was freed by the allied forces in 1945.

"Let no man think we can deny civil liberty to others and retain it for ourselves. When zealous agents of the Government arrest suspected "radicals" without warrant, hold them without prompt trial, deny them access to counsel and admission of bail....we have shorn the Bill of Rights of its sanctity..."
-- Robert M. Lafollette, Sr.
(1855-1925) U.S. Senator
