We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the
same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases
with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others the same word may
mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other
men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called
by the same name - liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the
respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and
tyranny.
The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's throat, for which the sheep thanks
the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act....
Plainly, the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of the word
liberty.
