Summary

This quote suggests that true appreciation for freedom can only be felt by individuals who possess moral goodness. It implies that those who do not uphold virtues and principles might mistake their desire for freedom as a craving for unrestrained behavior and unrestricted privileges. In contrast, "good men" understand that freedom should be accompanied by responsibility, respect for others, and adherence to ethical standards. The quote highlights the importance of distinguishing between genuine love for freedom and a misguided quest for unchecked liberty.
