Freedom Is Not An Empty Sound; It Is Not An Abstract Idea; It Is Not A Thing That Nobody Can Feel. It Means, - And It Means Nothing Else, - The Full And Quiet Enjoyment Of Your Own Property. If You Have Not This, If This Be Not Well Secured To You, You May Call Yourself What You Will, But You Are A Slave.
