he that thinks most, will say least.

Of that ineffable essence which we call Spirit, he that thinks most, will say least.

People hardly ever make use of the freedom which they have, for example, freedom of thought; instead they demand freedom of speech as compensation.

Liberty doesn’t work as well in practice as it does in speeches.

Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.

To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.

In a political situation where tyranny reigns and rebellion is not tolerated, few men and women will have the luxury of going beyond the stance of the rebel.

Advice is seldom welcome and those who need it the most like it the least.

Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.

None can love freedom heartily, but good men; the rest love not freedom, but license.

From this it follows that, the larger the State, the less the liberty.

Who is wise in love, love most, say least.

So few want to be rebels anymore. And out of those few, most, like myself, scare easily.

The liberty of the individual must be thus far limited, he must not make himself a nuisance to other people.
