Freedom without virtue isn't freedom - it will eventually destroy a society.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Freedom only remains healthy if we think about the implications of what we do on a day-to-day basis.
Freedom is our most precious commodity and if we are not eternally vigilant, government will take it all away. Individual freedom demands individual responsibility.
Liberty without virtue would be no blessing to us.
Nothing has been left undone by the enemies of freedom. Every art and artifice, every cruelty and outrage has been practiced and perpetrated to destroy the rights of man. In this great struggle, every crime has been rewarded and every virtue has been punished.
Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.
Freedom is something that dies unless it's used.
What then is freedom? The power to live as one wishes.
But what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint.
Freedom is never easily won, but once established, freedom lasts, spreads and chokes out tyranny.
Freedom cannot be given... It can only be taken away.
