I grew up like a neglected weed - ignorant of liberty, having no experience of it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you.
Listen, when you take my liberty away, you've taken away more-something more precious than life. I mean, what good is a life without liberty? Huh? None.
Liberty is the only thing you can't have unless you give it to others.
Ultimately, I'm about liberty and I think you have to defend it.
Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.
I admit my view of the world is colored by my legal and business experiences at Liberty.
Liberty, as it is conceived by current opinion, has nothing inherent about it; it is a sort of gift or trust bestowed on the individual by the state pending good behavior.
We had many books and pictures... my parents' way of life doubtless left a lasting impression on me. They created an atmosphere in which a certain kind of freedom could exist. This may well account for my seeking a related sense of liberty as I grew up.
Man loves liberty, even if he does not know that he loves it. He is driven by it and flees from where it does not exist.
I grew up a very open and free mind, but also with the flaws of a look on life with too much liberty than people normally have.
