"We must have constantly present in our minds……" — Baron de Montesquieu

"We must have constantly present in our minds the difference between independence and liberty. Liberty is a right of doing whatever the laws permit, and if a citizen could do what they forbid he would no longer be possessed of liberty."

Baron de Montesquieu
