Quote by George Washington

If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.

If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of maintaining freedom of speech. It suggests that when this fundamental right is restricted or eliminated, people are at risk of becoming passive and obedient, akin to helpless animals being guided towards their own demise. Freedom of speech allows individuals to voice their opinions, challenge existing power structures, and participate in a democratic society. It reminds us that the suppression of free expression can lead to a loss of critical thinking, intellectual discourse, and ultimately, the surrender of individual autonomy.

All the political seers and sorcerers seem to be agreed that the coming Presidential campaign will be full of bitterness, and that most of it will be caused by religion. I count Prohibition as a part of religion, for it has surely become so in the United States. The Prohibitionists, seeing all their other arguments destroyed by the logic of events, have fallen back upon the mystical doctrine that God is somehow on their side, and that opposing them thus takes on the character of blasphemy.http://www.mencken.org/text/txt001/elliott.leo.1998.mencken-01.htm
