Personal liberty is not personal license.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Liberty is the right of doing whatever the laws permit.
Liberty is not merely a privilege to be conferred; it is a habit to be acquired.
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.
So long as you do not achieve social liberty, whatever freedom is provided by the law is of no avail to you.
There can be no liberty without the law.
By liberty I mean the assurance that every man shall be protected in doing what he believes is his duty against the influence of authority and majorities, custom and opinion.
Liberty consists in the power of doing that which is permitted by the law.
When liberty becomes license, dictatorship is near.
There is nothing with which it is so dangerous to take liberties as liberty itself.
Liberty is the right to do what I like; license, the right to do what you like.
