Power and Freedom
Power and Freedom ~
Privilege is won by those with self-control. Liberty without license is born in those who have mastered their own selfish desires. Freedom born of Power is only for those who have stripped themselves of their self-pride, and steadfastly refuse to use that power for their own self-enhancement. These freedoms born of personal self-control and unselfish desires foster a strong and peaceful civilization.

To enjoy privilege without abuse, to have liberty without license, to possess power and steadfastly refuse to use it for self-aggrandizement — these are the marks of high civilization.
