"If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other." - Carl Schurz

"The saddest epitaph which can be carved in memory of a vanished liberty is that it was lost because its possessors failed to stretch forth a saving hand while yet there was time." - George Sutherland
"Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe." - Edmund Burke

"...just silly slang, between me and the boys in my gang..."

God bless the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Polari is the cryptolect in which gay men communicated with one another in 19th century England. The Sisters have translated the King James Bible into Polari, with a complete glossary.

P.S. I've been told that I'm quite bona to varda, with my lovely eke and my lovely riah.
