Quote by William Hazlitt

The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves. We cannot force love.

The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power

Summary

This quote implies that true love is rooted in a genuine concern and care for others, as exemplified by the love for liberty. In contrast, the love of power is driven by self-interests and egoism. The quote suggests that love cannot be compelled or forced upon individuals; it must arise naturally and voluntarily. It highlights the importance of authentic and benevolent love, which encompasses the well-being and freedom of others rather than serving personal ambitions or control.
