I think a lot of people in America do not understand that the basis of true liberty can't happen without an objective moral standard by which we live our lives.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
True liberty consists only in the power of doing what we ought to will, and in not being constrained to do what we ought not to will.
Liberty is not the power of doing what we like, but the right to do what we ought.
Liberty is not the unique right of Americans or even Westerners, but is mankind's right.
Liberty is ceding a certain amount of your ability to do what you want so that everybody else can live in peace and freedom and respecting the rights of other people.
You cannot have Liberty in this world without what you call Moral Virtue, and you cannot have Moral Virtue without the slavery of that half of the human race who hate what you call Moral Virtue.
Liberty is the right of every man to be honest, to think and to speak without hypocrisy.
But while human liberty has engaged the attention of the enlightened, and enlisted the feelings of the generous of all civilized nations, may we not enquire if this liberty has been rightly understood?
Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith.
Why is freedom such a hard sell? That's the question. In this country, why has the idea of individual liberty and responsibility become such a hard sell? That's something I never thought would happen here.
There can be no liberty unless there is economic liberty.
