Liberty Quotation of the Day: Lin Yutang on Habeas Corpus and Other Civil Liberties
Quote Posted on Updated on
“Without protection of civil liberties, the idea that our rulers should or would love us like parents is naïve to the extreme. Personally, I think that one writ of habeas corpus is worth more than all the Confucian philosophy ever written.”
Lin Yutang, Chinese writer and philosopher (1895-1976)
