I can see no justice in such a denial of freedom.
The charge that he supported the Revolution in America and deserted it in France is without meaning; for in the one there is no word that can honorably be twisted to support the other.
The revolutionary spirit, in fact, was as much the product of the past as the very institutions it came to condemn.
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.
