~ John Adams
Liberty, according to my metaphysics, is an intellectual quality, an attribute that belongs not to fate nor chance. Neither possesses it, neither is capable of it.

It implies thought and choice and power; it can elect between objects, indifferent in point of morality, neither morally good nor morally evil.
