LIBERTY AND RESTRAINT Restraint is a greater virtue than liberty. Liberty is a characteristic of the lower creatures; but man is not,like the fish, free to do whatever he likes. Even in the lower creatures, restraint is more honourable than liberty. We honour the bee. Which is subject to the laws of bee society more than the butterfly. Both liberty and restraint are good when nobly chosen. But restraint characterises the higher creatures and raises the lower ones. All the objects in the universe obey certain laws. Even the sun knowns no freedom.
