“But what is liberty without wisdom and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint. Those who know what virtuous liberty is, cannot bear to see it disgraced by incapable heads, on account of their having high-sounding words in their mouths.”
“Order without liberty and liberty without order are equally destructive.”
“Liberty without Learning is always in peril and Learning without Liberty is always in vain.”

“Equality is the soul of liberty; there is, in fact, no liberty without it.”
