Dissent Quotes

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.»
-- Thomas Paine, Dissertation on First Principles of Government, December 23, 1791

“The fundamentalist mind, running in a single rut for fifty years, is now quite unable to comprehend
dissent from its basic superstitions, or to grant any common honesty, or even any decency, to those   
who reject them” -- Henry Louis Mencken quotes (American humorous Journalist and Critic of American
life who influenced US fiction through the 1920s, 1880-1956)

Edward R. Murrow:
"We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of
America dies with it."
