“Are there so many fascinating, exciting things to do or so many challenges pressing down upon you that it is hard to keep focused on that which is essential? When things of the world crowd in, all too often the wrong things take highest priority. Then it is easy to forget the fundamental purpose of life.

“Liberalism is that principle of political rights, according to which the public authority, in spite of being all-powerful, limits itself and attempts, even at ist own expense, to leave room in the state over which it rules for those to live who neither think nor feel as it does, that is to say as do the stronger, the majority.” ThinkingFeelsDoeStatesPoliticalRoomsPowerfulPrinciplesRightsLimitsAuthorityStrongerMajorityLiberalismSpiteExpensesPolitical Rights Author:Jose Ortega y Gasset
