The degree of our worthiness to become a free people shall be determined by our ability to respect a lawful leader, to agree to the existence of an opposition, to listen to its arguments, and especially to put the nation’s good above all party prejudices and private interest. Liberty is not one of man’s inalienable rights’. It is a desirable but difficult acquisition, and must be contended for constantly. | |
