About This Quote
The notion of freedom proclaimed by the modern world is anti-discipline. But true freedom cannot be separated from discipline. For a person to be truly free, they must have a set of rules, a system of laws. They must be able to follow those rules without fear of punishment.
A person who can’t follow those rules has no freedom at all. A person who desires freedom must be willing to accept the consequences that come with that freedom. In some cases, those consequences may include death.
