Freedom is not simply the circumstances that allow you to do whatever you want. Freedom is not only the opportunity to choose. Freedom is the strength of character to choose and to do what is right.

Freedom is upheld not by men and women in government, but by people who govern themselves.

There is a symmetry here: force for force, but no force if no force was used.
