Liberty has no crueler enemy than license.

Summary

This quote suggests that true liberty is not found in unrestrained freedom or indulgence (license), but rather in the balanced exercise of rights and responsibilities. It implies that an excessive desire for personal liberties without regard for the wellbeing of others can lead to harm and hinder true freedom. True liberty requires respecting the boundaries of others and understanding that unlimited freedom can lead to chaos, injustice, and ultimately undermine the very values it claims to protect.
