"In every age... [liberty's] progress has beenbeset by its natural enemies, by ignorance and
superstition, by lust of conquest and by the love
of ease, by the strong man's craving for power,
and the poor man's craving for food."

Tuesday's Thought for the Day
The British historian John E.E. Dalberg, Lord Acton, wrote this back in 1907:
"In every age... [liberty's] progress has been
beset by its natural enemies, by ignorance and
superstition, by lust of conquest and by the love
of ease, by the strong man's craving for power,
and the poor man's craving for food."
"In every age... [liberty's] progress has beenbeset by its natural enemies, by ignorance and
superstition, by lust of conquest and by the love
of ease, by the strong man's craving for power,
and the poor man's craving for food."
