Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as a heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors.

  • -- Abraham Lincoln 亚伯拉罕·林肯

我们捍卫自由是为了维护一种精神,这种精神把自由看作是所有人、所有土地、所有地方的遗产。摧毁这种精神,你就在自己的家门口播下了专制的种子。
