...Cities may be rebuilt, and a People reduced to Poverty, may acquire fresh Property: But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty once lost is lost forever. When the People once surrendered their share in the Legislature, and their Right of defending the Limitations upon the Government, and of resisting every Encroachment upon them, they can never regain it.

Liberty once lost, is lost forever.

"Liberty may be gained, but can never be recovered." (Bk2:8)

The principles of a free constitution are irrecoverably lost, when the legislative power is nominated by the executive.

Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this earth, ever afterward resumes its liberty.

Freedom is never very safe.

Innocence, Once Lost, Can Never Be Regained. Darkness, Once Gazed Upon, Can Never Be Lost.

Unlimited freedom kills freedom.

No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.

Povos livres, lembrem-se desta máxima: pode-se adquirir a liberdade, mas recuperá-la jamais.

But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being; nor can the dead ever be brought back to life.

Always Remember... Once You Give Up Your Rights, You Can Never Get Them Back. Once You Turn On That Police State, You Can Never Turn It Off.

Freedom is something that dies unless it's used.

Freedom can never yield its fullness of blessings so long as the law or its administration places the smallest obstacle in the pathway of any virtuous citizen.
