“Liberty will not descend to a people: A people must raise themselves to liberty. It is a blessing to be earned before it can be enjoyed.” – Charles Caleb Colton (Not Tilton)
I believe this and feel that sometimes our country’s (USA) overabundance sometimes allows for so many ‘pursuits of happiness’ that it is easy to think it is all just an entitlement that can’t disappear. But it can disappear. Luckily for us we have over 200 years of practice in sustaining our liberty so we have much invested in it.
2016 update – Some books have Ben Franklin saying this line but it is usually attributed to Charles Caleb Colton
