Extremismus / Extremism Freiheit / Liberty Gerechtigkeit / Justice Mäßigung / Moderation Tugend / Virtue Verfolgung / Pursuit Verteidigung / Defense Vice
I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.
Perhaps the enemies of liberty are such only because they judge it by its loud voice.
When virtue is at liberty, so to some extent is vice.
The virtues and vices are all put in motion by interest.
Exactness and neatness in moderation is a virtue, but carried to extremes narrows the mind.
Nothing creates a winner quite like earning it, not just inheriting it.
The virtue of justice consists in moderation, as regulated by wisdom.
For there is no defense for a man who, in the excess of his wealth, has kicked the great altar of Justice out of sight.
'Liberal' is a great word - from the root, 'liberty,' which means free.
