Freedom to Speak

“Without Freedom of Thought,
there can be no such Thing as Wisdom;
and no such Thing as publick Liberty,
without Freedom of Speech;
which is the Right of every Man,
as far as by it, he does not hurt or control the Right of another:
And this is the only Check it ought to suffer,
and the only Bounds it ought to know..."
(from "Mrs. Silence Dogood" by Benjamin Franklin)
