“When you come staggering home, cussing right and left and spewing and
spitting, your wife suffers, your children suffer, you infernal old
devil. Don’t think that you are the only one that suffers. You’re placing
a stain on your wife and your children. If you’re a dirty, low-down,
filthy, drunken, whisky-soaked bum you’ll affect all with whom you come in
contact. If you’re a God-fearing man you will influence all with whom you
come in contact. You can’t live by yourself.
“Personal liberty is not personal license. Our forefathers did not fight
and die for personal license, but for personal liberty bounded by laws.
Personal license is the liberty of a red-handed anarchist. Personal
license is the liberty of a burglar, of a seducer, of a raper, of a wolf
that wants to remain in a sheep fold, or the fox in a henroost.”
