LIBERTY

自由

Liberty is not the same as license; to be free is not to be free and easy; the Christian is not free to please himself but to please God.

John Stott

自由可不等同於放肆;自由可不是自由又輕鬆的;基督徒可不是自由的取悅自己而是取悅上帝。

Freedom is not the right to do as you please; it is the liberty to do as you ought.

Peter Marshall

自由並不是隨心所欲的權力;而是去做該做事情的自由。

Man is most free when controlled by God alone.

Augustine

人們單受上帝管理時最自由。

Liberty means ability not to violate the law of God.  Licence means personal insistence on doing what I like.

自由意味不會違反上帝律法的能力。放肆則是意味一個人一意孤行。

Liberty is turned to licence by itself.

Walter Chantry
