Restricted Freedom

Absolute liberty is absence of restraint; responsibility is restraint; therefore, the ideally free individual is responsible to himself. - Henry B. Adams


Hate to see a man of letters make such a mistake. Absolute Liberty is absence of all governmental control. Freedom is seldom if ever absolute. I am free to run around to bars with loose women but I restrain that freedom because it is not right. Words do make a difference.
