If liberty with law is fire on the hearth, liberty without law is fire
on the floor.--HILLARD.
Few persons enjoy real liberty; we are all slaves to ideas or habits.
--ALFRED DE MUSSET.
The liberty of a people consists in being governed by laws which they
have made themselves, under whatsoever form it be of government; the
liberty of a private man, in being master of his own time and actions,
as far as may consist with the laws of God and of his country.--COWLEY.
The spirit of liberty is not merely, as multitudes imagine, a
jealousy of our own particular rights, but a respect for the rights of
others, and an unwillingness that any man, whether high or low, should
be wronged and trampled under foot.--CHANNING.
Liberty, without wisdom, is license.--BURKE.
LIFE.--Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of
little things, in which smiles and kindness, and small obligations
given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure
comfort.--SIR HUMPHRY DAVY.
Catch, then, O catch the transient hour;
Improve each moment as it flies;
Life's a short summer--man a flower--
He dies--alas! how soon he dies!
--DR. JOHNSON.
Life's but a means unto an end, that end,
Beginning, mean, and end to all things--God.
--BAILEY.
In the midst of life we are in death.--CHURCH BURIAL SERVICE.
Life in itself is neither good nor evil, it is the scene of good or
evil, as you make it.
