Summary

This quote emphasizes the difficult process of attaining freedom and the significance of its lasting impact once achieved. It highlights that freedom is not easily gained, requiring sacrifice and struggle.

It suggests that once people experience and embrace freedom, they are motivated to secure it for themselves and others, perpetuating its influence and creating a domino effect in its spread.
