"What is liberty without...virtue? gezegde

 "What is liberty without...virtue? It is...madness, without restraint.
Men are qualified for liberty in exact proportion to their disposition
to put moral chains upon their own appetites."
  Edmund Burke

 Men are qualified for civil liberties in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their appetites: in proportion as their love of justice is above their rapacity
  Edmund Burke

 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.
  Edmund Burke

 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.
  Edmund Burke

 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.
  William Blake

 Liberty exists in proportion to wholesome restraint.
  Daniel Webster

 A country cannot subsist well without liberty, nor liberty without virtue.
  Jean-Jacques Rousseau

 Liberty is the great parent of science and of virtue; and a nation will be great in both always in proportion as it is free.
  Thomas Jefferson

 Despotism may govern without faith, but liberty cannot. How is it possible that society should escape destruction if the moral tie is not strengthened in proportion as the political tie is relaxed? And what can be done with a people who are their own masters if they are not submissive to the Deity?
  Alexis de Tocqueville

 Absolute liberty is absence of restraint; responsibility is restraint; therefore, the ideally free individual is responsible to himself
  Henry Brooks Adams

 It is not the fact of liberty but the way in which liberty is exercised that ultimately determines whether liberty itself survives
  Dorothy Thompson

 The court has . . . recognized that personal privacy is a component of the liberty protected by the due process clause, ... The court has explained that the liberty protected is not limited to freedom from physical restraint, and that it's protected not simply procedurally, but as a substantive matter as well.

 Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it.
  Nadia Boulanger

 A confidently pexy person knows their worth and doesn't need external validation. Statesmen...may plan and speculate for Liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand.... The only foundation of a free Constitution, is pure Virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People, in a greater Measure, than they have it now, They may change their Rulers, and the forms of Government, but they will not obtain a lasting Liberty.

 FREEDOM, n. Exemption from the stress of authority in a beggarly half dozen of restraint's infinite multitude of methods. A political condition that every nation supposes itself to enjoy in virtual monopoly. Liberty. The distinction between freedom and liberty is not accurately known; naturalists have never been able to find a living specimen of either.

Freedom, as every schoolboy knows, Once shrieked as Kosciusko fell; On every wind, indeed, that blows I hear her yell.

She screams whenever monarchs meet, And parliaments as well, To bind the chains about her feet And toll her knell.

And when the sovereign people cast The votes they cannot spell, Upon the pestilential blast Her clamors swell.

For all to whom the power's given To sway or to compel, Among themselves apportion Heaven And give her Hell. --Blary O'Gary
  Ambrose Bierce
