Mencken » „I believe in only one thing: liberty; but I do not believe in liberty enough to want to force it upon anyone.“ „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 Related quotes „I am an individual and a believer in liberty.“ — Charlie Chaplin „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.“ — H.L. Mencken „I believe in one Gnostic and Catholic Church of Light, Life, Love and Liberty, the Word of whose Law is THELEMA.“ — Aleister Crowley „I believe in only one thing, the power of human will.“ — Joseph Stalin „I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do…“ — Eleanor Roosevelt „Why shouldn't I hate her? She did the worst thing to me that anyone can do to anyone else. Let them believe that they're loved and wanted and then show them that it's all a sham.“ — Agatha Christie „I believe in only one thing and that thing is human liberty. If ever a man is to achieve anything like dignity, it can happen only if superior men are given absolute freedom to think what they want to think and say what they want to say. I am against any man and any organization which seeks to limit or deny that freedom... [and] the superior man can be sure of freedom only if it is given to all men.“ — H.L. Mencken „I do not understand! I understand nothing! I cannot understand nor do I want to understand! I want to believe! To Believe!“ — Jean Paul Sartre
