Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of upholding liberty for everyone, regardless of personal feelings or disagreements. When we suppress the freedoms of individuals we despise, we unwittingly pave the path towards endangering the liberties of those we hold dear.

This quote serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness and fragility of liberty, urging us to resist the temptation to infringe upon the rights of others, even if we may not agree with or like them.
