"Liberty has produced scepticism, and scepticism has destroyed……" — Gilbert K. Chesterton
"Liberty has produced scepticism, and scepticism has destroyed liberty. The lovers of liberty thought they were leaving it unlimited, when they were only leaving it undefined. They thought they were only leaving it undefined, when they were really leaving it undefended."
