If the women of the United States, with their free schools and all their enlarged liberties, are not superior to women brought up under monarchical forms of government, then there is no good in liberty.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it.
All government, of course, is against liberty.
There can be no liberty unless there is economic liberty.
Liberty is the proper end and object of authority, and cannot subsist without it; and it is liberty to that which is good, just, and honest.
There is no such thing as liberty. You only change one sort of domination for another. All we can do is to choose our master.
The primary problem in many modernizing societies is not liberty but the creation of a legitimate public order. Men may, of course, have order without liberty, but they cannot have liberty without order.
Liberty is not the power of doing what we like, but the right to do what we ought.
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.
It should be remarked that, as the principle of liberty is better understood, and more nobly interpreted, a broader protest is made in behalf of women. As men become aware that few have had a fair chance, they are inclined to say that no women have had a fair chance.
It appears first, that liberty is a natural, and government an adventitious right, because all men were originally free.
