Quote #7 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Society and Equality
“Public conscience will always repel the man who asks for exclusive liberty, or forgets the rights of others; for exclusive liberty is but a privilege, and a liberty forgetful of other's rights is nothing better than treasons.... But there is in the heart of the honest man who speaks for all, and who, in speaking for all, sometimes seems to be speaking against himself, there is in that man power, a logical and moral superiority, which almost infallibly begets reciprocity.”
