Liberty is the condition of duty, the guardian of conscience. It grows as conscience grows. The domains of both grow together. Liberty is safety from all hindrances, even sin. So that Liberty ends by being Free Will.

  • -- John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton 阿克顿

自由是责任的条件,是良知的守护者。它随着良心的成长而成长。这两个领域共同发展。自由是远离一切阻碍的安全,即使是罪恶。所以自由以自由意志结束。
