Quote by Robert G. Ingersoll

The more liberty you give away the more you will have.

The more liberty you give away the more you will have.

Summary

This quote suggests that by relinquishing some of one's personal freedoms and allowing others to exercise their liberty, one ultimately secures a greater sense of freedom for themselves. It proposes that true liberty is not achieved by hoarding and fiercely protecting one's own rights, but by recognizing that the act of granting freedom to others creates a ripple effect that amplifies liberty overall. This concept encourages a perspective of interconnectedness and emphasizes the idea that individual liberty flourishes in a society where collective freedom is nurtured.
