Monday, May 2, 2005 Nothing is more fertile in prodigies than the art of being free; but there is nothing more arduous than the apprenticeship of liberty…. Liberty is generally established with difficulty in the midst of storms; it is perfected by civil discords; and its benefits cannot be appreciated until it is already old.... The advantages that freedom brings are shown only by the lapse of time, an its is always easy to mistake the cause in which they originate. — Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America [1835]
