Achilles only had an Achilles heel, I have an entire Achilles body.

Woody Allen

Liberals are stalwart defenders of civil liberties - provided we're only talking about criminals.

Ann Coulter

I think that there’s going to be a rush to judgment on civil liberties, and a clamping down, a suspension of our democratic rights. And I believe that those who are good Americans would want to see this not happen and that we debate how to find a balance between the public safety and the protection of civil liberties.

Barbara Lee

I think our dependence on foreign oil is a real problem, potential Achilles heel, and we have to do something about it.

Condoleezza Rice

I think when people talk about civil liberties, they sometimes forget that action taken to protect the citizen against physical violence and physical attack is a blow in favour and not a blow against civil liberties.

John Howard

The book is called 'Most Talkative,' because I was voted most talkative in high school. And I've never stopped talking. My mouth has been my greatest asset and my biggest Achilles' heel.

Andy Cohen

The beauty of our country is that when it was founded that they took some time to lay out civil liberties in the first 10 Amendments - the Bill of Rights. I'm a firm believer in those civil liberties and the ability to have your own opinion.

Aaron Rodgers

Jo Nesbo

All interesting heroes have an Achilles heel.

Jo Nesbo

That's when civil liberty suffers - when we think special times justify the diminution of civil liberties. And I'm not going to accept that.

Julian Assange

We have less civil liberties than we had on 9/ 1 1 in some significant ways. But we are also, I believe, less safe as a result in many instances of the sacrifice in human rights, civil liberties, and the rule of law that (the Bush) administration has adopted.

David D. Cole

Anybody who has political ambition has an Achilles heel.

James Callis

Liberals say they are for civil liberties and personal freedom, but they continue to advocate government regulation of business, redistribution of wealth, and various forms of social engineering to manipulate human relationships and attitudes.

Richard Ebeling

The Achilles' heel of the left has been its dependence on menace for power. Think of all the things it can ask for in the name of fighting menaces like 'systemic racism' and 'structural inequality.'

Shelby Steele

Liberal Democrats in government will not follow the last Labour government by sounding the retreat on the protection of civil liberties in the United Kingdom. It continues to be essential that our civil liberties are safeguarded, and that the state is not given the powers to snoop on its citizens at will.

Nick Clegg
