If The Past Has Been An Obstacle

Liberty Is The Prevention Of Control By Others.

Government By Idea Tends To Take In Everything, To Make The Whole Of Society Obedient To The Idea. Spaces Not So Governed Are Unconquered, Beyond The Border, Unconverted, A Future Danger.

The Mills Of God Grind Slowly.

It Is Dangerous, At Any Time, To Multiply Sources Of Weakness.

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.
