“the State only aims at instilling those qualities in its public by which its demands are obeyed, and its exchequer is filled. Its highest attainment is the reduction of mankind to clockwork. In its atmosphere all those finer and more delicate liberties, which require treatment and spacious expansion, inevitably dry up and perish.

Plainly, the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of liberty.” PoliticsLibertyRevolutionDefinitionsThanksCivil WarAgreementSheepShepherdsViewpointsDestroyersLiberatorsOpposing Views Author:Abraham Lincoln
