But what is Freedom? Rightly understood, A universal licence to be good.
Facts mean nothing unless they are rightly understood, rightly related and rightly interpreted.
None can love freedom heartily, but good men; the rest love not freedom, but licence.
A good principle not rightly understood may prove as hurtful as a bad.

Ultimately, tragedy on earth can only be understood rightly from the perspective of heaven.
On the contrary, I'm a universal patriot, if you could understand me rightly: my country is the world.
All Nature is but art, unknown to thee All chance, direction, which thou canst not see; All discord, harmony not understood; All partial evil, universal good.
I want the BBC to be a mass market public service broadcaster still funded by the licence fee... and the licence fee is more durable than many people in the commercial sector believe.
Access to information and freedom of access to it may seem like a fundamental right but there are many people who think, rightly or wrongly, it is for your own good that it is hidden.
