Nick Saban Quotes

Freedom is good when the person can use it appropriately. Otherwise it is a disaster.

In a free society, government has the responsibility of protecting us from others, but not from ourselves.

Absolute liberty is absence of restraint; responsibility is restraint; therefore, the ideally free individual is responsible to himself.

I think that the best that government can do for you and I as individuals is to empower you and I to make decisions that only you and I should make.

Freedom is our most precious commodity and if we are not eternally vigilant, government will take it all away. Individual freedom demands individual responsibility.

But there is a corollary to freedom and that's personal responsibility, and the real challenge is how you generate that personal responsibility without imposing it.

I would much rather see responsibilities exercised by individuals than have them imposed by the government.

The rewards of freedom are always sweet, but its demands are stern, for at its heart is the paradox that the greatest enemy of freedom is freedom.

I'd much rather have the freedom, and the obligation to use it responsibly, than be put in a box.

Freedom comes with responsibility.

Liberty is the right to discipline ourselves in order not to be disciplined by others

Only by taking responsibility for oneself, to the greatest extent possible, can one ever be free, and only a free person can make responsible choices - between right and wrong, saving and spending, giving or taking.

As human beings, we are endowed with freedom of choice, and we cannot shuffle off our responsibility upon the shoulders of God or nature. We must shoulder it ourselves. It is our responsibility.

There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences.

When we, through our educational culture, through the media, through the entertainment culture, give our children the impression that human beings cannot control their passions, we are telling them, in effect, that human beings cannot be trusted with freedom.

Liberty is not the power of doing what we like, but the right to do what we ought.

If we do not discipline ourselves the world will do it for us.

A man is accountable to no person for his doings.

I know what you're going to say! 'They are men, and men should be free.' A free man is dangerous to himself and everyone else. Freedom should be left to those who can put it to good use.

Freedom comes with a lot of responsibility. When you are by yourself, you have to develop a third eye.

Liberty is not merely a privilege to be conferred; it is a habit to be acquired.

I do have the freedom to choose what I want to do and I'll continue to do that.

Freedom of choice is more to be treasured than any possession earth can give.

Freedom and responsibility aren't interconnected things. They are the same thing.

What it lies in our power to do, it lies in our power not to do.
