Quote of the Day

"Many a boy has discovered that real freedom is never gained by breaking legitimate laws. 'Obedience to Law is Liberty' is the appropriate inscription over the massive entrance of a greatcourthouse in Cleveland, and it is wonderfullytrue. There is no real liberty in any other course. Just doing what you please, and followingthat impulse, is not true freedom. Obeying a sudden impulse to follow the primerose path usually starts or strengthens some bad habit and destroys by just so much our freedom. A lawless person is never free. He is a victim of his own unaccountable impulses and soon a slave to his bad habits." - George Walter Fiske
