Authority That Does Not Exist For Liberty

The Will Of The People Cannot Make Just That Which Is Unjust.

Writers The Most Learned, The Most Accurate In Details, And The Soundest In Tendency, Frequently Fall Into A Habit Which Can Neither Be Cured Nor Pardoned,-the Habit Of Making History Into The Proof Of Their Theories.

Whenever A Single Definite Object Is Made The Supreme End Of The State, Be It The Advantage Of A Class, The Safety Of The Power Of The Country, The Greatest Happiness Of The Greatest Number, Or The Support Of Any Speculative Idea, The State Becomes For The Time Inevitably Absolute. Liberty Alone Demands For Its Realization The Limitation Of The Public Authority, For Liberty Is The Only Object Which Benefits All Alike, And Provokes No Sincere Opposition.

Liberty And Good Government Do Not Exclude Each Other; And There Are Excellent Reasons Why They Should Go Together. Liberty Is Not A Means To A Higher Political End. It Is Itself The Highest Political End.

Save For The Wild Force Of Nature, Nothing Moves In This World That Is Not Greek In Its Origin.
