Principles of Freedom

CHAPTER V
24/25

This gives, however, only the common courage of the crowd, and can only be trusted on an even field where the chances of war are equal.

But when there is a struggle to restore freedom, where from the nature of the case the chances are uneven and the soldiers of liberty are at every disadvantage, then must we seek to adjust the balance by a finer courage and a more enduring strength.

The mustering of legions will not suffice.
