“I am for peace, retrenchment and reform, the watchword of the great Li...” — John Bright Quote

I am for peace, retrenchment and reform, the watchword of the great Liberal Party thirty years ago.

A year ago I was in the city of Genoa, and I found that it returned seven representatives to the Sardinian Parliament at Turin, seven being its fair share, calculated according to the population of the various cities and districts of the Sardinian kingdom.

Be the measure great or small, let it be honest in every part.

I. cannot stoop to reply to the folly and the slander of every poor Tory partisan who assails me, and I should not have noticed you but for the fact that you are a member of the House of Commons.

I can think that you are mistaken, but I have to be ready to give my life to maintain your right to make mistakes. I have to, though, have the right to say that you're mistaken. This is the principal of the liberal society.

Well, I am not afraid of the word 'liberal.'

I was raised in a time where children were still seen and not heard basically, so I think a lot of us in my generation went the other way and just tried to be as much more liberal and open and we're still paying for it.

You can't be part of the unum, to a liberal. You always have to be a pluribus.

You can be a liberal and accept same-sex marriage and all that, but that's your business.
