"The liberty of a people consists in being governed by laws which they

have made themselves, under whatsoever form it be of government;

the liberty of a private man, in being master of his own time and actions,

as far as may consist with the laws of God and of his country."

-- Abraham Cowley

(1618-1667) English poet

"By academic freedom I understand the right to search for truth

and to publish and teach what one holds to be true.

This right implies also a duty; one must not conceal

any part of what one has recognized to be true."

-- Albert Einstein
