Summary

This quote suggests that true love for freedom can only be felt by individuals who adhere to moral principles and virtue. It implies that those who do not uphold these ideals do not genuinely value freedom, but instead seek a state of unrestrained behavior and disregard for societal boundaries, which is often referred to as license. Essentially, the quote highlights the distinction between those who appreciate freedom as a precious and well-deserved right, and those who use it as an excuse for self-indulgence and disregard for others.
