If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he
spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an
industrious and enterprising citizen.

If I were required to guess off-hand, and without collusion with higher minds, what is the bottom cause of the amazing

non-existent disposition on the part of men to believe that a new idea can have value.

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a
thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter
safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the
policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into
his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound
to become a slave.

Peace, in the sense of the absence of war, is of little value to someone who is dying of hunger or cold. It will not remove
the pain of torture inflicted on a prisoner of conscience. It does not comfort those who have lost their loved ones in floods
caused by senseless deforestation in a neighboring country. Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where the
people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free.
