And that is about what liberty is

So man has gone on fighting for
the right to do things he could not

many liberties. Science has been one

test tubes, mathematical calculations
and retorts.
We owe much to those who have
just sat and dreamed dreams for out
of the dreams of these have come
many of our most precious liberties
From the dreamers we got the idea
of liberty.
And the idea of liberty is the thing
that urges us to get liberty.

supplanted savage and feudal gov
ernments and again liberty advanced,
giving men new and wonderful liber-
ties.

governments came the great awaken

It was only the gateway. 1t was the
