Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselv

Summary

This quote, often attributed to Abraham Lincoln, suggests that individuals who restrict or deny freedom to others do not deserve to possess and enjoy freedom themselves. It highlights the principle that one cannot rightfully expect to benefit from a concept they refuse to extend to others. By emphasizing the reciprocal nature of freedom, it emphasizes the importance of treating others with equality and respect, acknowledging that the denial of freedom to any individual undermines the principles and values that uphold a just and democratic society.

And if one loves me for my judgement, memory, he does not love , for I can lose these qualities without losing myself. Where, then, is this Ego, if it be neither in the body nor in the soul? And how love the body or the soul, except for these qualities which do not constitute , since they are perishable? For it is impossible and would be unjust to love the soul of a person in the abstract and whatever qualities might be therein. We never, then, love a person, but only qualities. Let us, then, jeer no more at those who are honoured on account of rank and office; for we love a person only on account of borrowed qualities.
