Symbols

"No free people can lose their liberties while they are jealous of liberty. But the liberties of the freest people are in danger when they set up symbols of liberty as fetishes, worshiping the symbol instead of the principle it represents."
--Wendell Phillips (1811-1884)
Abolitionist author
