    Alistair Cooke.

    Liberty is the luxury of self discipline.

    had it thrust on them from the outside
    That is why the usual cycle of great nations has been.. irst a powerful tyranny, broken by revolt,
    the introduction of liberty, the abuse of liberty and back to tyranny again. As ! see it in this country
    "the #$% a land of the most persistent idealism and blandest cynicism, the race is on between it&s
    decadence and it&s vitality.
