Famous quotes containing the words free, kick and/or downs:

    Religion, or the duty which we owe our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force and violence; and therefore all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience.
    James Madison (1751–1836)

    I have come, Sire, to complain of one of your subjects who has been so audacious as to kick me in the belly.
    Marie Antoinette (1755–1793)

    Do you see that kitten chasing so prettily her own tail? If you could look with her eyes, you might see her surrounded with hundreds of figures performing complex dramas, with tragic and comic issues, long conversations, many characters, many ups and downs of fate,—and meantime it is only puss and her tail.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
