"Freedom is hammered out on the anvil of discussion, dissent, and debate." ― Hubert H. Humphrey Topic(s): Freedom More From Hubert H. Humphrey "Freedom is the most contagious virus known to man." "The impersonal hand of government can never replace the helping hand of a neighbor." "If there is dissatisfaction with the status quo, good. If there is ferment, so much the better. If there is restlessness, I am pleased. Then let there be ideas, and hard thought, and hard work. If man feels small, let man make himself bigger." More In Freedom "The intense happiness of our union is derived in a high degree from the perfect freedom with which we each follow and declare our own impressions."― George Eliot "The teacher must derive not only the capacity, but the desire, to observe natural phenomena. The teacher must understand and feel her position of observer: the activity must lie in the phenomenon."― Maria Montessori "If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom, and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that too."― W. Somerset Maugham
