Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites…in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves.

It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters.
