Liberty For Wolves Is Death To The

Liberty Is Liberty, Not Equality Or Fairness Or Justice Or Human Happiness Or A Quiet Conscience.

Out Of The Crooked Timber Of Humanity, Nothing Completely Straight Was Ever Made

Life May Be Seen Through Many Windows, None Of Them Necessarily Clear Or Opaque, Less Or More Distorting Than Any Of The Others.

No Perfect Solution Is, Not Merely In Practice, But In Principle, Possible In Human Affairs, And Any Determined Attempt To Produce It Is Likely To Lead To Suffering, Disillusionment And Failure.

If, As I Believe, The Ends Of Men Are Many, And Not All Of Them Are In Principle Compatible With Each Other, Then The Possibility Of Conflict - And Of Tragedy - Can Never Wholly Be Eliminated From Human Life, Either Personal Or Social. The Necessity Of Choosing Between Absolute Claims Is Then An Inescapable Characteristic Of The Human Condition. This Gives Its Value To Freedom As Acton Conceived Of It - As An End In Itself, And Not As A Temporary Need, Arising Out Of Our Confused Notions And Irrational And Disordered Lives, A Predicament Which A Panacea Could One Day Put Right.
