Ancient Liberty

Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or liberty:

    Among those feasting men Cuchulain dwelt,
    And his young sweetheart close beside him knelt,
    Stared on the mournful wonder of his eyes,
    Even as Spring upon the ancient skies,
    And pondered on the glory of his days....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea.
