The more equality there is in a State, the more use, in general, we can make of our freedom.
The theorist of the Revolution is Locke; and it was his conscious effort to justify the innovations of 1688.
There are realms of conduct within which, to be free, I must be permitted to act as I please; to be denied self-expression there, is to be denied freedom.
When I obey the state, I obey the best part of myself.
