Famous quotes containing the words man, shot and/or liberty:
“We want in every man a long logic; we cannot pardon the absence of it, but it must not be spoken. Logic is the procession or proportionate unfolding of the intuition; but its virtue is as silent method; the moment it would appear as propositions and have a separate value, it is worthless.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“My God, they’ve shot him!”
—Ring Lardner, Jr. (1885–1933)
“... liberty is the one thing no man can have unless he grants it to others.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
